No, you won't need to buy the apps you have already purchased as long as you use the same Microsoft Account* as your default phone account after the factory reset. In this spirit, you can also install the same apps without having to pay for them again when you decide to change your phone, as long as your newer phone is running a compatible OS version.
*- The one you used to purchase the apps.
