I have a 2013 Road King Standard with 103 CI Engine and I want to know if I replace the stock headers with Jackpot 2-1-2 Headers (No Cat) and replace the stock mufflers with Vance & Hines 4 inch Twin Slash slip on mufflers and keep the stock air cleaner assy, do I have to retune the ECM?

No, you won't need to. Replace the A/C and you might want to think about a tuner but plenty of people go without one.
Yes, you have to re-tune because now you changed the exhaust flow.
Less back pressure and no cat.
If I was you I would do the air cleaner and then set her up right.
Good luck and ride safe.
This is a forum so anyone can have an opinion, right? The stock AC is not pulling 100% with stock exhaust. Now you add header and pipes and you don't think more air is moving through the pump? I vote tuner!

The OP's question was "do I have to retune the ECM?" and the answer is no, he doesn't have to.
