There is no law requiring people to put filters in a goldfish tank (if there was than quite a few people would be in trouble for keeping their fish in tiny goldfish bowls with no filtration or aeration). However there are a lot of advantages to having a filter in a goldfish aquarium. For one, a filter serves as home for nitrosomas and nitrobacter bacteria that help with the nitrogen cycle and ultimately keep the water quality in a tank good. A filter will also remove unsightly waste particles in the water and provides a slight current in the tank. Lastly a filter will usually provide some sort of aeration thus raising the dissolved oxygen levels significantly.

No actually. When I got my baby goldfish, he was fine in a large glass tank with a filter, a bunch of colorful rocks, and a bunch of decorations. Just don't put he/she in a tank with goldfish that are older, bigger, or goldfish that ur new baby goldfish just doesn't know because, believe it or not, goldfish can be aggressive. They can also be very territorial. I hoped I helped alot. Ur Welcome. :)
Is necessary to add filter machine in the fish tank of 2 x1 x1.25 and tank contain goldfish red cap?
A properly working filter can really improve the living conditions for your goldfish and will almost double the tanks holding capacity. The tank you have though is not large enough for any kind of goldfish. 1" of fish needs 1 gallon of water. Your goldfish will grow to around 10" if given reasonable conditions. That is going to max out your tank with just 1 fish.
