Yes.

It's a separate install for Windows Vista. Windows 7 ships with
PowerShell 2.0 and Windows 8 ships with 3.0. I'm not sure how many
developers are running Vista or (or XP) but we should list it as a
requirement.

Chocolatey and NuGet both require PowerShell 2.0. I can't tell if it's
required by newer versions of Visual Studio.
