Well, as said before, QAAC will unavoidably require the CoreAudioToolbox.dll, because that is where the Apple AAC encoder is implemented.

Whether you need to run the Apple Application Support installer to get CoreAudioToolbox working, that is a different question

It probably is sufficient to just drop CoreAudioToolbox.dll plus its dependencies (I count at least eight more dependencies!) into the application directory or the System directory, so QAAC can find and load it.

But, as we cannot redistribute CoreAudioToolbox.dll (and friends) for legal reasons, the users will have to download the Apple Application Support (or a product that contains it) from the Apple site anyway.

And for most users it will be much easier to just let the installer do its job, instead of trying to extract the required DLL's from the setup package manually...
