For GRT restore random I/O access on VM files is required hence staging VM files on disk is necessary. You are correct, it would need that much space. More deteails are documented in following technote :

Yes, you are correct. Staging is only required for restoring granular items (GRT). For complete DR and complete VHD / VHDX restore staging is not required.

Thanks; https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000108683 is a much better article than https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000075462. The latter is vague and should be removed, in my opinion.
