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.
Or for windows, where running rsync under sshd doesn't work well.
