Yes almost everything has to be AFCI protected now, however I would only put in an AFCI breaker for this type of circuit if I pulled in a homeowners permit. AFCI protection is a total crock, but it is code. No electrician doing this little work will pull a permit for it, I wouldn't worry about buying an AFCI breaker at $70 versus a regular breaker for $15 as long as you don't pull a permit. If you do get one it has to be AFCI.
