on-prem AD is not required.

AD requirements:

I think you are getting this error because the User which you provided as tenant Admin while deploying the host pool is not yet added to Windows Virtual Desktop Application as a tenant creator.
You can check if the user is already added from here:
Go to Active Directory -> Enterprise Applications -> Windows Virtual Desktop -> Users and groups

To deploy WVD do I also have to enable single sign-on and pass-trough authentication and having Domain services running in Azure?
