Well, yes and no. If you want it to do anything really useful money has to change hands. Quite a bit of money....

Without the cable (£263) software is useless. Software needs cable. Yes, software is free to download, but cable is the brain of this kit, cable is also your license.

You can get the dodgy chinese ones, but..
1 - You can't ever connect to the internets/upgrade the dodgy copy of VCDS and if you do, you're straight onto '2' 2 - The cable usually breaks after a couple of uses.

It's called VCDS now as VW warned them they must not use VAG in the trade name. You can get it directly from the Rosstech site in US or Gendan the UK distributor.
The fake cables used to be officially 'supported' by a very old version of VCDS but I think that's all changed now. Also, newer cars such as ours need HEX CAN cables whereas these fake ones are usually K-line only and so only work with some modules if any. Having said that, many start off with the cheap cables and then get frustrated and spend the extra so if you just want a cheap introduction you could try one.

W8 is fine for proper VCDS versions.
If you pop along to ross-tech.com then you'll see all the wonderful things you can do with it.
