No its not required considering you have valid Australia, UK or below countries via

Clause from HK lgesilative Authority:
8. The transit without visa (TWOV) arrangement was subsequently tightened by ImmD in 2005 due to increasing abuses byPakistani transittees. With effect from 21 November 2005, Pakistani
nationals will only be allowed airside transit through Hong Kong without a visa provided that they are:
(a) holding valid entry visas for destinations in Australia, Canada,
New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom, USA or
Schengen States (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden); or
(b) holding residence visa/permits of the countries specified in (a);
and
(c) are scheduled to depart within 12 hours of their scheduled
arrival in Hong Kong; and
(d) are under escort of the concerned airline staff.
