I'm asked to install rosetta in order to open Factorio on a MacBook Air M2 - is this correct?

Yes. Factorio is an x64 application - M2 chips are ARM based. Rosetta is needed to emulate x64.

If you search there are posts from other people on the M1 chips where it ran fine - pretty equivalent to comparable Intel-based macs IIRC. Don't think I've seen anyone post about results with an M2, but I doubt it'll be bad.
