If so then yes, they would. I would expect, if that was the case, that the encrypted recording would need the card and the box it was originally paired with to allow playback.
I'll take this with a pinch of salt however, as I just tested playing back a recording with the card removed. The recordings, including those from Sky basics played.

I expect most broadcasters would be concerned if disc cloning was possible. Sky's extra restriction is to prevent viewing after unsubscribing,

Wouldn't copying the programmes with a DVD recorder or streaming them over a network or the internet be much simpler for anyone wishing to go down that route?
And yet the recordings play back without a card...
