I have bought a 5 axis breakout board. Do I have to buy a driver board to get the stepper motors going on a cnc router?. I think I may have gone to cheap. This is the first time using a breakout board. Also if I do then do I have to have a separate driver board for each motor .

Yes, you need stepper drives to power the motors. You can buy single drives for each motor, or a multi axis drive like a Gecko G540.
