Do I need a receiver that supports ALLM?

I'm about to upgrade my receiver and buy an Xbox One X, and I see the XB1X got updated to support ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode, which automatically switches a tv to its Game Mode settings (and vice versa) when watching tv/movies vs gaming). I know that for ALLM to work, the tv has to support it and the settings just have to be adjusted on the XB1X. The only tv models that currently support it are the top-tier Samsungs. My question is this: If I buy a new receiver along with the XB1X, does the receiver need to support ALLM for it to work? I see the new Yamahas support it. Marantz models will soon support it after a firmware update. I asked Anthem if their AVRs supported it, and was told, "As far as I know we do not support ALLM however we do not have any video processing, the MRX 720 HDMI video is pass through only." I'm not sure how ALLM works on a technical level, but I'm assuming a receiver must need to support ALLM, as is the case with the tv. Am I correct? Or does it matter, as long as the signal is being passed through the receiver? I’ve asked Anthem and Microsoft tech support, and no one seems to know.

Anyone here?
