I don’t really think that any of these answers really address the question.
If you go out and buy this template it will come with all the files you need to install it on a server and run it. The question is wether or not yahoo has the services available on their hosting to handle the system or they want you to use their system.
The Template said that it came with all the necessary OSCommerce files and the CRE files to load the template aswell. In order to install it on a server the server will have to have PHP on it (most servers do unless they run .net) and you will need to have data base access in order to create the database that will store your catalog and user information (this system uses mySQL).
It is not likely that yahoo will enable you to access a database from their server so the answer is likely that it is not possible to host that exact store on yahoo.
Yahoo would likely want you to use their own systems however they are not standard to what the rest of the world are using and you are probably limited to what modifications you can make.
In order to make this work you likely do need to use a hosting company other then yahoo. I recommend this site as I have been using them for a while and they have provided great service for me setting up a number of stores and other online systems
