I havent got the all the info you requre but hopefully this is a start for you
You need a licenses for both the Cloud PC and Office 365, im currently running Windows 365 business and Microsoft Business Premium license for Office 365
So my cloud PC is £60 a month plus a Microsoft Business premimum license = £75 ish

Thanks for your reply Philip, and confirming it on behalf of Microsoft Eric. Pitty Microsoft could not be the one to provide the definitive answer.
Microsoft is by definition becoming a click bait environment. Oh you want this service well ok to run that you also need this other infrastructure and other services and will cost you XYZ. Microsoft needs to provide a functionality that gives to people the ability to say: OK I want 5 Azure desktops running Microsoft 365 in this reagion, and it then sets up a table to say well to do this you will need these network interfaces, those directory services x subnets and will cost you from this amount. Or for us to say ok we want 5 Windows 365 with microsoft 365 running on them, and microsoft to sat ok this is the infrastructure and licenses required to set that up.
Instead we buy the AVDs and then find we need these other pieces and suddenly you are paying a huge fee as it all adds on with every click.
It is just frustrating
