If I want to play games on my tv, is it required that I use the Stadia controller or can I use my playstation or xbox controller? In this case, would the Chromecast still be needed?
To play on TV you will need the chromecast ultra and stadia controller. You can use PS controller on laptop, PC and phone.

I have an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and I connect it to the Stadia controller via USB-C. This allows me to use the Xbox controller, even on the Chromecast. This is called "Tandem Mode":
