Although Android phone preloaded with Gapps package but for some cases you may need to  install Gapps manually. All most all Stock firmware or official firmware come with Gapps package but when you wish to flash custom ROM, you need to install separate Gapps package as most of the custom ROM developers are not including Gapps with their ROM.
