When using an Apple 18W or an Anker PD1 30W USB-C charger do you also have to use the Apple USB-C to lighting for fast charging of iPhone 11 and iPad Pro 10.5?

Just I’d rather just take an Anker 3in1 cable I have (Anker PowerLine II 3-in-1 Cable, Lightning/Type C/Micro USB Cable for iPhone, iPad, HTC, LG, Samsung Galaxy, Sony Xperia, Android Smartphones, and More(3ft / 0.9m) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07215381G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Hr30EbQB2VG76) to save on cables required.

I also have an Incharge Max cable which covers all bases for charging as well.

So would these cables work? Do they have to be MFI? I do have a Apple USB-C to lightning, but it’s limited when travelling for family for other charging ports needed.

Is there an actual way to tell apart from checking it say after 1/2hr to see, if device had low battery for example? I mean is there an icon or text somewhere? I know Android shows fast charging on screen when activated.
