No you don’t really need a third party plug-in for this kind of thing but that doesn’t necessarily mean you wouldn’t want one because doing this kind of thing isn’t really a standard straightforward process in Photoshop. The advantage of Mask Pro is that it provides simplified tools specifically designed for this purpose.
As for online tutorials, I’m not aware of any free ones, you might look here <http://www.phong.com/tutorials/mask.tree/> to get the idea of what is involved and if you are enterprising, you should be able to adapt the technique outlined but if not, you might want to take a look at this book < http://www.amazon.com/Photoshop-Masking-Compositing-Katrin-E ismann/dp/0735712794/sr=8-2/qid=1162783480/ref=pd_bbs_2/102- 1134040-1619300?ie=UTF8&s=books>.
