Yes you still need to do the mod/linking of the pins. However please see (2) below

(1) - What ELM *adds* over KKL is the addition / ability to connect and talk to CAN-Bus.

(2) - What ELM *loses* over KKL is the ability to connect and talk to KWP81 (Fiat 9141) protocol which is used for AirBag diagnostic

(3) - Given (2) then then connection of Pin 3 to Pin 7 will still not allow an ELM interface to talk old KWP81 airbags, hower making to mod does not do any harm keeps a level of consistancy for both KKL and EML interfaces.

(4) - Any airbag system that supports/uses CAN will work with ELM, however I don't know if any Fiat uses CAN based airbags yet.
