Does Ubuntu 13.04 have a desktop environment built-in?

Does Ubuntu 13.04 have a desktop environment built-in?

I have a VPS on which I'm planning to install Ubuntu 13.04 .. I plan to
use VNC to access this VPS. Currently I use 11.04, which is very much
outdated now. When I installed 11.04, I had to follow a guide (here) to
first install ubuntu-desktop and then install GNOME, and then I could get
VNC up and running ?
So would I have to manually install this stuff for 13.04 as well ? Or does
it come built-in now ? If its still requires manual installation, are
there any guides (I'm a n00b at this) ?
