The main usefull purpose of an "Air Pump" is to drive/operate a filter and cycled filters are an absolute neccessity for all fish in any aquaria. Air bubbles do very little to improve things in an aquarium so if you have a power filter the air pump would be superfluous.

Do goldfish need air pumps What other type of fish needs an air pump that can be in a 5 gallon tank?

A goldfish does not need an airpump, it needs 3 stage filtration and good water movement from something such as a box filter and/or power heads. A goldfish, however, is not suited for a 5 gallon tank. 10 gallons per goldfish is the recommended minimum, as they grow very large and require more oxygen than almost any other fish. I would recommend something smaller such as rosy minnows, guppies, or if you get a heater, small tropical fish like tetras. ALL fish however, need filtration, not just an air pump.
