As far as mentioned in the Java FAQ ( http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=java ), the Java binding implementation doesn't cause any performance degradation because of just wrapping native Open MPI with mpiJava-based APIs. I believe this means no Java code is required to run on all processing nodes (workers) but it has only to run on a master node. Is this understanding correct?
Not sure I fully understand, but I believe the answer is no - Java code is going to run on all nodes where there are processes.

You do not need JDK installed on worker nodes - it only has to be on the node where you compile your code. However, we launch a JVM for each process, so you must at least have the JVM installed on each worker. This is typically included in a base Linux installation (just look for the "java" command, usually in /usr/bin), so you usually don't have to do anything special (as opposed to installing the JDK, which doesn't usually come in the base install)
