No, it's not code to require a 20A 12/2 circuit for a washing machine. I don't know of any washing machines that use the full 20A.
I just mentioned that if you had the capability to install it, more headroom is always a bit better for minimal extra cost. But if you already have the 14/2 wire you'll be just fine with that.
