You don't need the TermVectorComponent at all for MLT. The reason the Term Vector is suggested for the fields you are interested in, is just because this will speed up the way the MLT will retrieve the "interesting terms" out of your seed document to build the MLT query.
If you don't have the Term Vector enabled, the MLT will analyse the content of fields on the fly with the analysis chain in input.
