Is it necessary to buy hosting in order to direct the domain to your IP address?
Hello. But you probably get the gist of the question. Is it possible to redirect the domain to your IP address without buying hosting services, or is it still necessary to buy it?

Not at all necessary:
Many registrars have a dns management service (paid or free). You configure there A record of your domain to the IP you need and that's it.
Of course not.
It's just that many hosters have combined - hosting plus DNS, so this impression arises. The domain name registration (and renewal) service is a separate service. DNS hosting service (primary) is separate. DNS hosting service (secondary) - separate - that is, three separate services, and you can buy them either from one or from different providers, at least you need only a registration service, but it is assumed that you have your own DNS server and have a secondary where to place the zone.
Optional,
usually the domain registrar has settings to change NS servers and add an A record for ip/ipv6
