Is a PH buffer absolutely required for peat/verm casings?... all i could find was Hi yeild brand hydrated lime, which it looks like i shouldnt use.

As long as the Mg level is 3% or lower it can certainly be used. The problem with hydrated lime is it's very readily available to the point where it will burn the myc if too much is added so be very careful also hydrated lime doesn't last long it is a short term buffer and is only use to alter the casing mixes initial pH, either way it helps. I also know a few that do not use any buffers in there peat based casings but they rarely go for more than 2 flushes before they toss them OD.
