like there is under ESXi, that's required to be installed under ovirt, instead

Well it depends on what you consider 'working properly'
Mainly you will need to have the VirtIO drivers, the Spice Drivers and the Spice VDAgent
For additional features supported by oVirt you'll also need the ovirt-guest-agent
The qemu agent is currently optional, however will be required together with the
ovirt-guest-agent at some point to support some additional features.

Yes they are.
btw the virtio drivers are already in kernel so for a bare minimum functionality
you're ready to go without any additional sw on Fedora. If you want copy&paste in
SPICE you need vdagent, if you need detailed utilization statistics, app list, guest IP
reporting, SSO you need ovirt-guest-agent. If you need the new backup API and hotplug CPU
in the future you'll need qemu-ga as well
