I'm a big fan of CFQUERYPARAM, but this is a bad example to justify its use.
You don't need to do all that work. There's a function called ListQualify
that takes care of this for you:
<cfquery name="categories" ...>
SELECT categoryId, title, description
FROM categories
WHERE categoryId IN
(#ListQualify(FORM.categoryList, "'")#)
</cfquery>
