No, there is no direct Limited Express Azusa service from Chino to Chiba without a transfer at Shinjuku. Limited Express Azusa trains terminate at Shinjuku (or occasionally Tokyo station), and do not extend their route to Chiba. Therefore, a transfer at Shinjuku is always necessary to reach Chiba from Chino.
