No, you only need to buy the current expansion. Once shadowlands launches it becomes the current expansion, meaning all those before it are included in the base sub. Currently as shadowlands is not out, Legion is the most recent expansion included in the base sub.

Do I need all WoW expansions to play Shadowlands?

World of Warcraft is not sold separately, only the latest expansion (currently Shadowlands) is sold separately. If you start a subscription or you buy game time, you immediately have access to all previous World of Warcraft expansions, and you can play all the content and all the maps up to level 50.

What happens if I don’t buy Shadowlands?

If you don’t purchase Shadowlands, but you keep your subscription active, you will be able to play everything that is currently in the game. Few years ago they made it so your sub includes all old content (currently, that is Vanilla to Legion. BfA will be included when Shadowlands goes live).
