As per the SBE specification:

To maximize deterministic field positions, message schemas must be specified with this sequence of message body elements:

Fixed-length fields that reside at the root level of the message (that is, not members of repeating groups), including any of the following, in the order specified by the message schema::
a. Fixed-length scalar fields, such as integers
b. Fixed-length character arrays
c. Fixed-length composite types, such as MonthYear
Repeating groups, if any.
Data fields, including raw data and variable-length strings, if any.

Do the fixed length fields refer to both required fields as well as optional fields?

Yes, fixed-length fields may be required or optional.
