If my Windows workgroup is made of two words with a space in-between, does Samba's config file need quotes around the workgroup name, example: WORKGROUP = "MY WORKGROUP"

Apparently not. See man smb.conf - one of the first sections, FILE FORMAT, tells you:

   The values following the equals sign in parameters are all either a

   string (no quotes needed) or a boolean, which may be given as yes/no,

   1/0 or true/false.

So there you go - no you don't have to quote in smb.conf.
