Yes - VC-1 requires the £1.20 VC-1 codec licence. MPEG2 requires the £2.40 MPEG2 codec licence (there is software decode functionality but it is sub-par).
The big advantage the Pi has over some other platforms (not Windows) is that it handles VC-1 interlaced content. Lots of platforms (Linux on the x86) struggle with this - and quite a few TV Blu-ray releases use this format.
