Do I need a Dutch credit history to get a mortgage?

No, you do not need an existing Dutch credit history to get a mortgage. Lenders mainly assess your current income, contract type, residence status and BKR record, rather than a long local track record, which is good news for recent arrivals and expats. Building a positive payment history still helps for future borrowing.
