Unfortunately yes.

I just had a look at the package -- looks great.
However, it is quite complex (using the picture environment, ...)
so I suppose incorporating into lyx would be a _huge_
effort (if possible at all, remember, even a "plain"
twocollumn will only show up in the output but not in lyx.)
Therefore, if you are familiar with latex, I would recommend to
export your files as latex and incorporate into the example
with a "normal" text editor.
(Although I know from my own experience that for
designing a poster a WYSIWYG (or WYSIWYM) editor would be a
great help. Thus I would be very pleased if someone of the lyx-gurus on
the list could prove me false.)
