No - you only need a "normal" rsync installed on each side. rsync uses a ssh/rsh connection to copy the data, so you don't need a special server. rsync starts itself on the remote server over the ssh connection. If you run a high-volume site, an rsync server is available (though this has had quite a few security issues in the past).
And isn't encrypted like ssh. It's mostly for distribution of data, like for ftp mirrors.
