No, you don't have to run zookeeper on each replica. Zookeeper
is a repository for your system (cluster) information. It knows
about each replica, but ZK does not need to run on each shard.

You can run one zookeeper instance for your entire cluster, no matter
how many shards/replicas you have.

Here's a good place to get started understanding ZK:
http://zookeeper.apache.org/

Internally, SolrCloud uses ZooKeeper to understand what to do
with update and search requests. In effect, it asks ZK
"How many shards are there and what is the address of each
leader"? and "does the right thing" with the results...

My suggestion is that you pretty much forget ZK exists until
you get a bit more comfortable with SolrCloud. Run it embedded
in a single instance (and do NOT shut that instance down!).

>From there, you should see SolrCloud "just work" and it'll at least
get you started.

Best
