No, dbus doesn't require X11 to work. Neither does emacs require Cygwin to
work.
Actually, Emacs compiles as a native Windows application (using MinGW32 or
MinGW64) and it is also the case of dbus.

I too think that a native, session only module that will provide the same
interface as dbus could be interesting
for Windows users. However, that shouldn't prevent those who want to use
dbus to use it.
AFAIU, using dbus, you could have a distant running emacs (ssh) session and
get notifications on your local desktop,
provided the right setup.
Well, browsing the source code, I see that Eli Zaretskii has already
implemented native win32 tray notifications.
They are a small subset of the dbus notifications.
However, he made them exclusive with dbus. I don't see the reason yet.
