This question can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" but that wouldn't do it justice.
For all intents and purposes, yes, you need a Wireless router for a home wireless network. In industry, however, there are many solutions that do not involve an actual router, but instead a wireless bridge.
In residential environments, a wireless router is actually a whole slew of network devices wrapped into a single plastic box. These devices include a wireless access point (which is essentially a specialized RF radio), a switch which handles internal traffic, and a router which deals with traffic from the internet going to your internal network and vice versa.
In industry, the access points that you may see are simply that: the wireless access points. They are specialized to just broadcast a very strong signal. There are many other solutions to wifi, but the most common approach is a simple access point.
