No, it's not. When I fly for business, I don't have Silver status anymore (expired in early 2014) I pay with a corporate green AMEX. My boarding paperwork still includes my reference as a SkyMiles member, I get the Zone 1 boarding, I get the free first checked bag. One does NOT have to pay for the flight with the Delta AMEX to get the benefit.
What you DO need to do is, on your corporate or other booking service, make sure the ticket you are buying is aware of your SkyMiles account number. That should link through to recognize Delta AMEX existence. Other posters, who may not have revealed this information to whoever was booking their ticket, yeah, in that case if there's no link to your Delta Gold AMEX "membership" with SkyMiles then you would not get the perks.

That was going to be my next question. I went ahead and booked direct with my Delta card. I also had to add my minor sister onto my itinerary. She's an AU on my Delta card so she should be able to get the perks with no problem I'm assuming
It doesn't matter if she is an AU or not. As long as she is booked under your reservation she get the benefit. My wife is not an AU on my card and when we travel she gets all the same benefits as me. An AUdoesn't get the benefit if they travel separate from you. Only the main card holder gets the benefit all the time.
