It is necessary to define an index for a primary key column?

Let's have an example
CREATE TABLE users(
id_user INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
user_name VARCHAR(25)
);

Does PgSQL automatically create an index for id_user (primary key) or it
must be created by hand?

You could give it a try before asking:

test=# CREATE TABLE users(
test(# id_user INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
test(# user_name VARCHAR(25)
test(# );
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "users_pkey" for table "users"
CREATE TABLE
