Would a generic, cheap controller like one this work for playing some kind of games on my iPhone?

No. You need to have a MFI (made for iPhone) official controller. In addition, your iOS device must be a lightning connector device, or the latest Apple TV.

FYI: Here is a list of MFI compatible controllers with reviews and amazon links. Some of the older ones are not too expensive.

I own a Mad Catz CTRL i Mini, and a PXN Speedy, both work well.
