Yes you can use a joystick on the PC. When you start Fallout New Vegas with a joystick connected (or connect when game running) it will recognize the joystick and use it as the only input device (yeah, the game designers made it so the keyboard/ mouse is disabled, which sucks).
A joystick is probably the most common input device you'd think of when it comes to games. However, you could also use a flight controller, a trackball, or a mouse. But generally, you'd use a joystick unless you are playing a flight simulation game that requires a flight controller.
