Repository Pattern MVC4 EF5

Being fairly new to MVC4, ASP.NET and Entity Framework, I've been looking into the use of the repository and unit of work patterns, and I'd like to verify my understanding.

Am I right in thinking that the DBContext used within EF5 CodeFirst acts as a unit of work?

In this case, is there any point in implementing repositories?

Or should I use:

Model - Repository - ViewModel - Controller - View?
