OS/2 never required the use of a static IP from your ISP or in your
internal LAN.
I assume you are asking about the IP assigned to you by your ISP, rather
than any IP you might be using in your internal LAN.
The best way to find out if you have a static IP from your ISP is to ask
them.
Another way is to look at the WAN settings of your router. If you have a
static IP, you will have entered it there. If you have a dynamic IP, you
will have configured the routher to obtain it from your ISP.

This is normal. Static IPs are a scarce commodity and thus command a
higher price.
