  Yes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
  The video embeds that WordPress.com supports for all of our blogs – no upgrade required are found here.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video

  Youtube embedding http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/
  and troubleshooting here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#troubleshooting

  The VideoPress upgrade allows you to upload videos from your computer for hosting and playback directly within your blog (or on another site you can designate). http://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/

  Sure. Just make them regular blog posts and tag or categorize them “YouTube.” I have several hundred entries on my category: http://raincoaster.com/category/youtube/

  If you want, you can create a static Page and put all of your YouTubes in it but it won’t update dynamically the way posts will and it won’t be attractive to search engines.

  So If I embed the code. will it be fine? Also I will be the one posting the video’s. There video’s on accessibilities. So can I still use categories?

  First of all, go through http://learn.wordpress.com to get the basics. Then, when you have a specific question, use the Support documents search to find the answer http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=youtube
