It contains (almost) everything you need to get started. However, if you're setting up a Windows box to act as your repository server, at the current moment I'd avoid going with the Apache/WebDAV method, and instead use svnserve. Trying to get the Subversion WebDAV libraries and Apache's mod_dav to play nice with one another caused me nothing but grief. The svnserve program isn't a Windows service, so you'll need something so you can set it up as one. If you've the Server 2003 Resource Kit, you can use the instserv and srvany tools to wrap svnserve as a service. Alternatively, try the SVNService[2] tool, which wraps svnserve as a service. It's quite easy to use. But if you want a detailed explaination of how to set svn up on Windows, you can't go wrong with this article[3]. On the topic of Homesite integration: forget it for the moment if you're not willing to pay. For Homesite integration you need and SCC provider, and the only one I know of out there is the commercial PushOK SVN SCC provider[4]. I haven't used it myself, but it looks quite solid. Subway[5] appears to be moribund, though chmsubscc[6] looks promising. Either way, you shoul grab a copy of the excellent TortoiseSVN[6], a Subversion client that integrates into Explorer. It's incredibly easy to use, so much so that, I think, almost negates the need an SCC provider. It's also useful to allowing control over other assets not handled by the IDE. Hope that helped.
