Yes and no. That's basically all you need but I wouldn't call the process "simple". Don't forget about remote control (WiFi, BT, or IR are all options).

Not really sure what you mean here. Your receiver only cares about the bits coming over the HDMI cable, not the software that's putting the stream together.
