No, simply having aura items like zekes herald, aegis of the legion, boots upgraded with the captain perk, frozen heart, and abyssal scepter in your inventory while you are in range to provide the debuff/buff auras of the aforementioned items to allied or enemy champions - will not grant you assists if an allied champion gets a kill. Even strong passive auras like tarics w does not grant you assists simply by being around an allied champion when your ally killed an enemy champion. Even if your passive auras directly led to your teammate winning a fight against an enemy champion you will still not get an assist. However if you used tarics ultimate which is an aura that grants an attack and ability power bonus for allied champions as long as they are within 1100 range of you then you will be granted an assist even if you never attacked the enemy champion or healed an allied champion that killed said enemy champion. Tarics ultimate is an active aura - like talisman of ascensions active effect, warwicks w, or nunu's w and thus you will get assists from the kill even if you never attacked the enemy champion. An active aura is any aura in which you have to physically press a key in order to activate the aura. A passive aura is a permanent aura where you don't have to press a key in order to activate the aura.
