For erecting a fence where one did not exist previously, do Owners Corporation approval requirements apply or do the two relevant neighbours just need to agree?

I understand that in the ACT for class B units under the Unit Titles legislation, the Common Boundaries Act applies to common boundaries between two lots.

Where you have a class B development with a boundary between two lot properties, then the owners do still need to comply with the applicable rules. However, the Common Boundaries Act could still apply to that situation.
