Do I need a plate to attach it to?

As far as I know, only the Honda plate will hold the Honda top box. The Honda plate requires alternate Honda grip rails in order to mount. In order to fit the alternate Honda grip rails on a 2012, one must trim just a bit of the bodywork (plastic, but you won’t see the trimmed parts with the seats on).
Lacking any of that will prevent you mounting the Honda top box.

All correct, short of modifying the Honda box to fit another base plate (or plate to fit the box somehow).

Yep. I have the OEM top box on my 2013. I can provide a list of part numbers for anyone interested. You may be able to set up some eBay searches and catch some new-old-stock or used parts for the mounting system at a reasonable price.

Note that even though the installation instructions for the grab handles specifically included using a saw to trim some of the rear plastics, on my bike that was not necessary. Everything fit fine. And not in the "it kinda fit but things are rubbing" way, but it actually fit perfectly, like it was meant to go there. Perhaps there is an updated mold that was used on later bikes (i.e. 2012 vs 2013) that was redesigned to accommodate this.

I was certainly happy to not have to trim any parts to install

I understood that after 2012, the rear underseat cowl was updated so that no cutting was needed to install the alternate hand rails. It almost seems Honda got ahead of themselves in 2012 with the accessory rack design, and then had to go back and redesign the cowl.

That’s my understanding as well. My 2012 has trimmed bodywork, but every 2013 owner (and later) I recall having posted here said no plastic trimming was needed on their bikes.
