And to answer the question, yes, the semicolon is required.

From the N4885 draft:

module-declaration :
    export-keyword[opt] module-keyword module-name module-partition[opt] attribute-specifier-seq[opt] ;

module-name :
    module-name-qualifier[opt] identifier

module-partition :
    : module-name-qualifier[opt] identifier

module-name-qualifier :
    identifier .
    module-name-qualifier identifier .

("module-keyword" is "module".  The "module", "import", and "export"
keywords are treated specially.)
