An AS-PIC (or ASM) will terminate tunnels as well, but you don't need to have it. The tunnel pic (or built in one) serves that function as well.
"The Tunnel Services PIC leverages a comprehensive set of tunneling technologies to deliver revenue generating IP/MPLS services over any IP infrastructure, whether owned by the provider or a third party. These services include Layer 3 2547 MPLS VPNs over GRE, IPSec over GRE, GRE over IPSec, PIM Sparse Mode multicast, multicast over Layer 3 2547 VPNs, Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), VPLS or Layer 2 VPNs terminated into Layer 3 2547 VPNs, IPv6 over IPv4, logical routers and other revenue generating services. The Tunnel Services PIC works with all M-series and T-series platforms to support high bandwidth tunnel services."

Or does one also require an AS PIC?
