If you want SSL encryption, then yes, you will need a certificate file. OpenSSL is also available for Windows, and I believe the command- line options are the same as described in the linux version. Whether you want a third party to sign your certificate is up to you, but if you choose to self-sign, the user will get an error upon visiting your site via https unless they confirm the certificate as a security exception.
