Digital Game is one that you can download from the store directly. Physical Copy is when you have a disk.

Yes for physical copy games you will always need a disk to play the game.

If you ever receive a digital copy (download from the XBOX Store, get it with games for gold, etc...) of the game that you previously installed with a physical disc - then you won't need the disc anymore.

Otherwise, yes - if you install a game through a physical disc, you'll always need a disc of the game to run it.

Yes. However, if you get the digital version from the store then no. For example, I own Tomb Raider definitive edition on disc, but Microsoft are offering it for free on the GOLD. I thought heck and installed that version. Now, I no longer need the disc as long as I am a GOLD member.
