Yes , it’s requiered , But my question is more like , if the pilot flying ( PIC ) flies 2 hrs of Actual instrument can de SIC ( pilot monitoring ) log the same 2 hrs ?Only if an SIC is required under 135.
There's a Chief Counsel interpretation that a required copilot is "performing" the approach.FAR 61.51(g) would seem to say that you have to be the one flying the airplane in IMC:
"...when the person operates the aircraft..."
14 CFR § 61.51 - Pilot logbooks.

Sorry, I had it backwards. I forgot that the non-flying SIC cannot log the approach (although a CFI giving instruction can). The letter is the 1999 Carpenter letter.I'd be interested to see that letter. I've tried to locate issues in that venue but failed. Do you have a link to it ?
the135pilot didn't offer enough detail to indicate whether his operation "requires" a F/O.
I'm not much of a lawyer.
Notice that the letter also says that while the non flying required SIC can't log the approach, they can log the instrument time. Semantic differences between, "operating," "performing," and "manipulating."mlf,
Thanks for the letter. So much to know...so little time.
