Appache mod_rewrite turned on, worked. But do I still need the plugin?

    I tried several plugins until I found a stackexchange topic where they replied that WordPress redirects the permalinks for us and we don’t have to do anything. For some reason it didn’t happen that easy either. So I searched the http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks and it mentioned a mod_rewrite feature in Appache. I found the same feature in Wamp (my site is in my localhost, not online yet) and I activated the feature with the same name and now all redirections are working.

    I don’t understand if I still need a redirect plugin or not, or if I’ll need one when I upload the website to a server. Can anyone help me understand this?
