That's correct, you need to have an Exchange Online if you like to use a custom domain in Office 365. It is included for example in Office 365 Business Essentials (5$/user/month) or you can buy a stand-alone Plan 1 for 4$/user/month.
The custom domain used to be a feature included in Outlook.com Premium, which was merged to Office 365 Home. However, the custom domain feature is only available for those who had the original Outlook.com Premium.
