Is it really required to obfuscate xamarin iOS code ?

The answer I provided to MonoTouch: How to protect my application should cover everything. If not then you'll need to be more specific in your question.

What is difference between code written in Obective C vs C# Xamarin obfuscation?

That's not a valid comparison, i.e. ObjC does not compare with obfuscation and Xamarin does not offer (by itself) obfuscation.

However if you compare both ObjC compiler and Xamarin's AOT compiler code then you'll find that both produce native ARM[64] binaries.

In most cases developers use obfuscations tools (on .NET) because they ship the IL (intermediate code) with their application. That's required for a JIT (just in time compiler to work) but not for a AOT (ahead of time compiler) which Xamarin.iOS uses.
