The link you sent doesn't have any electrical spec that I could find, so I can give a definitive answer. I would be surprised if these motors took less that 25mA to run, and even it they do, you would at a minimum use protection diodes to avoid voltage glitches that may hard the pin. So I'm inclined to say that you probably want a driver, which can be as simple as a transistor if you only care about unidirectional operation, or an H-bridge otherwise.
