Yes, you need 9.3+ to get the -> operator.

FYI, a good way to determine this is to go to the section you want, in
this case:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/functions-json.html

Then look at the top of page. There will be links to other versions of
the Postgres for which this documentation applies. By moving
backward/forward you can see when features appear or are changed.
