Nope. Chain work fine. It will just need to be adjusted for the bigger sprocket.

I was also thinking about this 16T sprocket change, but i'm no expert in the final drive section. If the chain doesn't need to change, does this mean "just move the back wheel a bit closer"? Sorry for asking dumb questions.

Yes. You adjust the chain for the proper slack with the bigger sprocket on it by moving the wheel forward to get more slack.

I went with 16T when I upgraded the exhaust and flashed the ECU.  So much better all around.
