Yes a mailed thank you not is required. Make sure your full return address is on the envelope.
This accomplishes a number of things:
#1 It hows your good breeding and manners
#2 The host/hostess may file these away (my mother, MIL and wife always did/do) and they actually record remarks such as who was there, what was served and about the guest.
These files are used both for inviting for a return visit and more importantly in the Jewish mothers matchmaker service.
#3 Sometimes only one of the couple is there when you leave and receives the oral thanks, this way both know you appreciated being hosted.
