No, you don't need the rest extension, just installing the proxy extension
should be sufficient.
There is some confusing nomenclature here; there are actually two modules in
geoserver that are called rest. One of them provides an extension point that
plugins can use to provide their own rest apis; this is included in
GeoServer since sometime in the 1.7.x release series, and it is the one
needed by the proxy extension. You don't need to install it because it is
already there.
The other extension is the one that provides a REST API for configuring
GeoServer. Before GeoServer 2.1, this is *not* included in the geoserver
package you download, and since it is by far the most popular rest extension
for GeoServer, its "real name" (the one used in code, RESTConfig) is often
shortened to just REST.
Hope this clears things up.
