No, electron-positron collision does not violate the law of the conservation of matter. Momentum and charge are also conserved. Electrons and positrons can collide in what are called scattering events, and they can do this without necessarily undergoing mutual annihilation. Because both these little critters can exist as a wave (particle-wave duality), their behavior can be fairly easily assessed using a "basic tool kit" to analyze electromagnetic wave interaction. But electrons and positrons can annihilate each other rather than scatter. Annihilation doesn't violate the law of conservation of matter, either. And there's a reason for that. The "old" idea of the conservation of matter was that matter could neither be created nor destroyed. But we now know that matter can be converted into energy. That's what happens in annihilation. The article in Wikipedia on the annihilation event touches on electron-positron collision. And there is an article on electromagnetic scattering as well. They aren't that difficult to understand, and the curious person will find links to those posts below.
Not only can momentum be preserved; it will be preserved, no matter what. For more information, I suggest the Wikipedia article on "Conservation of momentum".
The Conservation of Matter and the Conservation of Momentum are the consequence of the Conservation of Energy.
The conservation of Energy-Matter.
There is a Law of Conservation of Momentum, which states that total momentum is always conserved. In this case, that means that - assuming no additional bodies are involved - the total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision. It doesn't even matter whether the collision is elastic or not.
There is the law of conservation of mass, and the law of conservation of energy. All three state: (Mass/Matter/Energy) cannot be created or destroyed, simply transferred.

If by the law of conservation you mean the Law of Conservation of Matter, then it states that matter cant be created or destroyed.

The law of conservation of matter is applied to processes not to a compound.
The law of conservation of matter states that in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.
This would violate the law of conservation of matter/mass, which states that in a closed system, mass is constant. This means that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In other words, the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass/matter states that mass/matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical or physical changes.
