To run an app you just build you can use an actual device (iPhone or iPad) or iOS Simulator which comes with Xcode. So isn't necessary to have an Apple device to test an app, but in most it's recommended since a simulator may work different than an actual device.

True (such as if you use a camera like in the Ribbit app), but to use an Apple device you need a developers account with Apple which costs $99 annually.
