No you need one for each signal feeding each light for each side, because you have 2 signals going to each wire (turn and brake) they each need to be isolated. Two lamps makes it 4 total.

In the case of the ones you found above it is basically 2 diodes in 1 so you would only need two of those. Also looks like they are setup for easy spade connections where as the general purpose ones I found would require soldering.
