No!! you don´t need to pass csa or step 2 cs. You need just step 1 and 2 if you are going to take the exam in 2004. Starting in 2005 you will need step 2 cs prior to taking step 3.
If you want details read them at ecfmg.org.

You need to be ECFMG certified to appear for step 3. That means you have to pass all 3 exams, step 1, 2 and CSA.
