Noob Visual Studio Sharepoint 2013 Development - sharepoint-2013

Is it true that I have to have Server 2008 R2 or above and at minimum sharepoint2013 installed on my DEV box in order to create sharepoint projects? I just downloaded the tools, and when I go to create a sharepoint project I get a "sharepoint not installed" error.
Thanks

These are requirements for SharePoint2013
Windows Server
Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (64 bit) Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter
Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate (64 bit) Standard, or Datacenter.
SQL Server
SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (64 bit)
SQL Server 2012 (64 bit)

I'm able to create a sharepoint project with visual studio 2012 on my windows 7 development machine. I have an old version of Microsoft.SharePoint.dll from sharepoint 2010 deployed to the GAC and this is automatically referenced when I create a new project.
Obviously I can't run the code because I don't have sharepoint 2013 installed (this requires a server version of windows) but it's enough to create a sharepoint project and write some code and I even get sharepoint intellisense (though if you are developing for sharepoint 2013 you would be better off using a later version of Microsoft.SharePoint.dll).

sharepoint 2013 installation issue

I have created an Oracle virtual box VM using Windows server 2012 R2 standard OS. Then I installed active directory services using sever manager feature and then I installed SQL server 2012 express edition and installed all prerequisites for SharePoint server 2013. All prerequisites are installed successfully. All the installation done on a single machine. But still I am getting an error while installing SharePoint 2013.
Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error:
Windows server App-fabric is not correctly configured.You should uninstall Windows Server App-fabric and reinstall it using the SharePoint Product Preparation tool.
The sharepoint install disk has an executable named something like prerequisite.exe. Beware though you need to do your install with SharePoint 2013 SP1. SP1 being the key.
