I am unfortunately not familiar with Powtoons, but yes, you need to buy Character Animator to use Character Animator puppets. Basically the way most people use Character Animator is one of two ways:

1. Record everything in Character Animator with character, background, etc. Export via Adobe Media Encoder as a finished video (MP4 usually).

2. Record just the character performance in Character Animator and export it to another program - either dynamic link to Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects, or as a PNG sequence + WAV file which works in a large variety of editing programs, which you may want to check to see if the editing apps you use support PNG sequence importing.
