Aurora store doesn't need play services and the game shouldn't either. Worth trying anyway. That said I never tried to download a paid game.
Why would you assume that a game would not require Play Services? I have experienced that issue many times, including with Stardew Valley.
Some paid games use drm which needs gplay services to function.
you can't download paid content using Aurora Store. it uses sockpuppet Google accounts to download from the Play Store's servers (which is why half the time the accounts are rate limited and don't work anyway)
You can use a valid account if you want.
I had a few legacy apps on the paid store, and everything works on my /e/os without any Google, I'm not sure what does it, but I have Aurora and microG
MicroG is what probably is making it work for you. However not everyone uses microG.
