if you have an ecg pulled with the conductors are you still required to bond the receptacle to the metal box?

Yes to the way that you asked the question. Please be more specific.

If I have conduit from panel to 1900 box with plaster ring I have a EGC to the receptacle ground terminal from the panel do I need to add a jumper or remove the insulator from the screw of the receptacle to bond the box or is the conduit considered bonded at the panel?

Yes. I do not have a picture of Exhibit 250.66 to show you.
250.148 requires the equipment grounding conductor, where present, to be connected to the box where conductors are spliced or terminated .
250.146 provides the provisions for the requirements to attached the receptacle to the equipment grounding conductor.. this requirement varies with the type box and the type receptacle.

If you do not run an egc you may not need a jumper but with an egc you do--:?.

In this graphic you could remove the bonding jumper if you used a self grounding receptacle.

Left my 2008 handbook at work but I'm sure the above exhibit prohibits that.
Edit I do not think that it is a problem with a plaster ring.

I don't think it's a problem with a plaster ring or a 1900/4-11/16 device cover as long as it's a self grounding device (in the case of a plaster ring) and the cover screws press a flat section of cover against the box (in the case of a raised 1900 device cover). There were raised 1900/4-11/16 device covers in the past which also had raised corners, but I haven't seen them around for a long time.

Just to clarify, although it was implied, I was referring to the bonding jumper between the device and the EGC. You would still need the jumper to the box.

I put the wrong exhibit # before. I should have said 250.56 not .66

I did not think a jumper to the receptacle was needed in that example since the cover has the screw slots flat that make contact with the box
