Do we need YouTube if we can host media (in this case MP3 and animations) oursel...

No, you don't need YouTube. In fact, you almost never need YouTube.

If you just want to host some files (like mp3s and animations) you can toss them on a CDN.

If you need a bit more advanced features, like easy embedding, a premade player, etc. you might wanna use Vimeo.

*HOWEVER* YouTube is fast, easy and takes care of pretty much everything for you. This is not to be underestimated.
