Yes, water dormant St. Augustine, albeit, not as heavily as during the warm growing season. The reason for this is that while the part of the grass we see is brown, and not growing, the roots are still active, and need water.
According to the site I found, "about an inch of water every two weeks" should be adequate during the cold months.
