No you do not need a card reader, you can transfer directly from/to the device via DM/Media Manager or by Windows Explorer Copy/Paste when Mass Storage Mode is enabled.
I'm having some problems figuring this out too. Roxio MM doesn't show me the 2 gig microSD card installed in my BB 8830WE so I can save media directly to it. All I see in the bottom panel is the Device Memory folders. I have enabled all the switches under Media Card on the Blackberry, so I don't know what to do next. I would just cut/paste from Windows Explorer also, but the BB doesn't show up there at all but I can access it with Desktop Manager and Roxio Media Mgr.
