When do you need to install a motor starter and heaters on a motor and when can you just install it on a breaker ? What determines this ?

You never need a starter, but the motor always requires overload protection. In general if the motor does have built in overload protection, you need some type of external protection.

What about a 1.5 HP pool filter pump motor 12 amp with internal thermal protection?
