I have found that voice over does not read required on most field types.
I was never able to get it to read it for anything other than edit fields

Subject: [WebAIM] Required Field Indicators for Drop-down List - VoiceOver

Greetings Group,

I am finding that VoiceOver reads required text fields with
aria-required = true. However, it does not read when applied to a
Drop-down list element. Any feedback?

Thanks!
