I see it do "su" before run hijack. Is that mean the device must be rooted? I want use this technique in my app. And do the steps (copy *.so, get pid, run hijack) in a subclass of Application in my APP. But my customer's device may not be rooted. Is this possible to do that?

A rooted device is a strict requirement, at least for any AOS version that limits access to the ptrace API, which may be any reasonably recent version. So even if you manage to work around the file permissions issues, hijack will fail to inject the shared library into the target process.
