Definitely a scam. All the money is gone and cannot be recovered. Contact your local police. Do not give any more money to the scammer and don't communicate with them. Do not put money into that wallet

No, you don't need any BTC funds to be able to receive BTC in your wallet.

Schemes where you have to prepare/provide some funds 'in order' to receive something else sound very much like a scam.
