In a system like Joomla!, the "components", "modules" or "plugins" would be equivalent to a view in MVC, templates/stylesheets just organise that output and help make it look "pretty".

For a "shop" in joomla you would add a component like VirtueMart or something similiar.

Joomla! out of the box essentially just allows you to write pages/articles and to hang them off menus with the end result being a website.

The beauty of a CMS is that you really don't need to know HTML, Javascript etc you just need to worry about the important part of the website.... the content.
