How do I determine if a Google Play app requires Google Play Services? Or does every app listed on Google Play require it?

You can use Aurora Store for this. It is a libre app which et al list trackers in the app; whether it shows ad;a and whether the app uses Google Play Services as a dependency or not.

If an app requires Google Play Services, then as soon as you open the app, you will be warned that you can't run the app unless you have Google Play Services or in better cases, that you will have limited functionality or that you may encounter unintended behaviour. Not all Google Play apps require Google Play Services.

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.yuka.android requires Google Play Services but when running it under Lineage OS with Android 13 there isn't such warning. Apr 30 at 18:58
