No, you don't need ECFMG certificate. In your personal statement, you can mention that you have passed your USMLEs which demonstrates that you are competent to pass PA school.
Also, make sure you convince them that you really want to be a PA, and not use PA to get in residency, otherwise, they won't accept you. So be prepared if they asked you at the interview whether you would use PA to get in residency and have convincing justification for your case.
