Squats work your hamstrings and your quadriceps along with your gluteus maximus. If you are doing them correctly you should be pushing through your heels into the floor with ~80% of your force. The other 20% is from the balls of your feet but that is mainly for stabilization and not a significant plantar flexion exercise. Soooo yes, you do have to do calves separately.
