Monthly achieve
It’s because this month didn’t start with a living story so those achievement categories aren’t present.
So yes, you only need to complete 2 of the items in EITHER pve or pvp sections, not both for the reward.
From as far as I’m aware only Laurels are once per day/month, any other reward (the coins/essence of luck and PvP salvage kits/Arcana Crystals) will still be awarded.

See the section on Achievement Unification.
On the 15th they’re merging PvP and PvE/WvW achievements into one category, so before then each monthly only takes 2, after the 15th all the achievements will be in one and you’ll need to complete 4 total.
