It looks like it is most
It looks like it is most probably done using views.

will I need the category module for this too ?
Or is views enough ??
You will still need to have
You will still need to have categories, the category is what views will use to determine what content to load into the page. Then just create a menu item that links to the views page.
Use the duplicate feature in views to create new pages for each category.

Category not needed
No, you don't need the category module for that. Just use the built in taxonomy (called categories in the menu, but not the same as the category contrib module) to create some terms. Tag your nodes with those terms. By default, you can click on a term and all the posts in that term will show up. You don't even need views for that. If you want that introductory text at the top, though, you'll have to use a view as that allows you to add a footer.

Not with views
It's not done with Views - that would be evident from the page source code, as views leaves its name everywhere in classes and id's.
It looks like there's a very simple set of categories (from the core taxonomy module), and the pages linked to in the menu are the taxonomy term pages. These get listed in descending order of posting date/time, which is all you would need for this structure.
