Yes an additional VHF antenna is recommended. It need not be masthead. You would connect the AIS unit via a Keyspan serial adapter (USA19HS).
I would get assistance from someone who has installed marine electronics if you are not familar with connecting power, radio and data connections. The installation is similar to that of a VHF radio.
This page has lots more detail about AIS..
