Hi, planning to get the Kingston HyperX Cloud II headset and I currently have a Asus Z170 Pro(not the gaming edition)motherboard, would I need a dedicated sound card to utilise the headset's full potential?

yes that right but for the virtual 7.1 surround sound you will still need kingstons software.

Which means to say to a average person I would not observe a noticeable difference with or without a sound card? And the audio chipped on this motherboard is able to support 7.1 virtual surround sound?

It wouldn't matter with a pair of USB headphones because you wouldn't be using that audio.
