Is this a synthesizer plug-in?

No. It’s a sample pack: recorded one-shots and patterns, plus shuffle and MIDI material. You use the sounds with your own music software.

Do I have to buy the course?

No. The free pack and practical lesson are the starting point. The house-production course is an optional next step.
