Does every rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock and back to igneous rock?

No. A rock go from any one of the three types to any other or even back to the same type. Any rock can be re-melted to form magma, any rock can be weathered into sediment, and most rocks can undergo metamorphism. The once exception would be high-grade metamorphic rocks, which form at such high temperatures that any further heating would melt them.

Does a rock go through the complete rock cycle by changing from igneous rock to sedimentary to metamorphic?
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
