From my understanding, at least one other necessary component is dxvk, and that wine is not enough.

If I dont use lutris or some other manager, how can I game on linux? do I have to configure dxvk? do I need soemthing else too? vulkan?

Is there a guide that explains it?

How does Bottles know to install VC redistributable or .Net and other stuff kind that?

While creating a Bottle, you choose a profile for "Application" or "Gaming". It then createa a prefix with most common dependencies for that purpose. It might not install all you need though, but it has menu to install whatever you need manually within few clicks.
