No, the official complete toolset will be packaged with the game. What is being released today is a Beta version of the toolset, and it is free. It will contain only a small amount of the total content (2 tilesets and 25 creatures) but you should be able to create an entire dungeon with these. They said that you may not be able to use any content created with the beta in the final game, but I think this is just a worst case scenario, they want modules waiting when the game is released, good PR.

The Beta toolset is free and will be available as a 300MB download on various sites (yet to be determined), from retail EB stores, or shipped as a bonus if you preordered the game from EB. Supposedly in the stores you might have to preorder, or maybe pay a small amount ($10) which is applied to the game total at release time.

I can't wait to play with the beta, should be interesting.
