Do wet leased aircraft necessarily have entire crew given by lessor? Can the one leasing run their own crew to operate the aircraft and bring down the lease cost ?

^ Wet leased aircraft is mainly operated by crew provided by lessor.

Usually a damp leased aircraft is jointly operated by crews of lessor and lessee.

For a dry leased aircraft the lessee has to arrange its own crew licenced/rated for operating the aircraft.

Damp lease is not a legal term. Once used, it implies a form of wet lease where the cabin crew is provided by the lessee. In wet lease, the aircraft operates under the lessor's AOC and registeration, hence the cockpit crew from other operators (lessee) can't be used.

Probably they intend to acquire this A320 on long term dry lease in full PIA livery and get it registered in Pakistan?

Or maybe as wet leased aircraft only tail is painted in PIA Pakistan flag tail livery. In the past some wet leased aircraft wore hybrid livery of PIA and lessor company so hybrid livery for this A320 as wet leased aircraft is also possible.
