Planer is good to have if you plan to do a lot of finished project with dimnsional lumber. If you plan to use hardwood from the lumber yard you really don't need it.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you I think this is backwards. People doing projects using dimensional lumber are buying s4s boards and not usually trying to change the thickness. People buying hardwood at a lumber yard usually buy it rough or somewhere between rough and s4s and then use their jointer/planer/saw to mill it how they want it.

No. I can buy hardwood lumber from the big box that is relatively smooth and very very close in dimension. I find when I buy dimensional lumber the sizes vary more which I think is mostly due to moisture content and shrinkage. By either cutting off the rounded corners (with a table saw) or running it through it through a planer you get a better looking product.
