android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission ... is it required?

I have an application that just display Google map with some tiles as second layer. I wonder I need to use the permission android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE I copied the Google example that is available in Android SDK under Google Play store and the permission was there.

Please, notice also I included in my application "Google_Play_Services-lib". My application support minimum Android version 8.

Yes, according to the getting started documentation it's used for caching map data. Note that without it, your app should crash upon loading the map.
