edit: is the 30 amp fuse necessary if you connect at the starter terminal for power?

No you do not then need the fuse. The relay coil would safely burn out if there were shorted turns and the location is safe.
In any event, a 30 amp fuse would not protect the relay or a light wire, as is only required for a connection to the battery. Any fuse fitted should be as close as possible to the battery end of the wire. I note from where this strange specification originated. Perhaps it was assumed that the relay draws 30 amps.
