The chip is only for 30-pin / Lightning-based accessories and for Bluetooth accessories that need the SPP profile. There are also MFi game controllers and hearing aids.
The chip is not required for BLE or for the other BT profiles that iOS supports. Proprietary BLE profiles are also supported without MFi.

No. The chip is only for Bluetooth 1.0 - 3.0. Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) is a completely different protocol.
