It isn't necessary, but it is a good idea
What you need is to create a view that renders such template.
I suggest you write your own view function that does that, but what
you'd usually do is just use a generic view and either pass it the
template you want to use, or name the template in a way the generic view
will find it on its own.
See:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/class-based-views/generic-display/

Yes, in general, every Django model instance has an id (unless you
specifically tell it not to), and you can use it to create urls for the
detail view I mentioned earlier. This is a good start, but you'll later
want to add a SlugField to your Card model, and use that instead of the
id so urls look nicer.

I can assure you using Django for a project like yours is *very*
straightforward.
When in doubt, revisit the Django tutorial. This part is a good one for
where you're at: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial03/
