If you're done after a 5.5 leg, then no he doesn't. However, since you were an IRO, something tells me you had more flying to do after that leg. So yes, he did require a 2 hour break in the last half of the duty period before his landing.I seriously said, if you need a 2 hour break on a 5.5 hour flight, you shouldn't be fu(king flying.

Age increase has been very destructive to the profession. Compounded by mergers, so many pilots will simply never get senior enough to be in a position to take real advantage of more years of work. Most pilots I fly with are 5-8 years older than me, and they simply want out, ASAP. When I flew FO, it was with all the super senior pro 65 guys. Let me tell you, if those guys had found themselves in the dire straits most FOs do now? The outcry of unfairness would be beyond imagination.
