There’s no validation process, even for BBC iPlayer. They ask for a postcode because the regional content within the UK is locked to different countries and regions (ITVX content is on STV player in Scotland).
There isn’t a way for them to check your TV licence on ITVX. Even then a TV licence is only required if you watch the livestream broadcasts on the app. If you watch catch-up, streamed but not live broadcasts, a TV licence isn’t required except for BBC iPlayer. An IP address outside the UK isn’t likely to work either.

You know it’s free to watch on ITVX, right? It just has ads
You need TV licence, so no, not free.

Not for watching catch-up on ITVX. You do need a TV Licence for the BBC iPlayer, however.
