By the constitution yes it requires the State to approve it. The Congress claimed (incorrectly) that since Virginia was in a state of rebellion they didn't need the Government's approval.Won't happen. Requires approval from the state first, which they'll never get, and then the Congress would have to approve it.
Does it really require approval from the state? Did Virginia give approval to the formation of West Virginia?
