If one of you needs to become an immigrant then an I-130 needs to be filed.
If both of you are already immigrants or US citizens then it is not needed
anymore.

In that case, then yes. Among other things, an I-130 will be one of the
things in your AOS package.

Out of curiosity.... are the couple *require* to file the I-130 even if
the F-1 doesn't expire for quite some time? For example, if the F-1 is
good for a year, must they file if they intend to leave before the F-1
has expired?

This is along the lines of having to notify USCIS of certain changes (eg
address!) while in the country on any visa.
