You don't need to. If you get the control file in your cold
backup you can use it. However, as you already pointed out
you need to tell Oracle you are using a backup control file
in the recover command. Then it will apply archive logs to
your content. You can do auto and when it runs out of archive
logs in a directory it will prompt you for the next number
sequence. Just type cancel.

no, to ensure a consistent database, oracle checks the scn in the
datafile headers against the scn in the controlfile. If you take a cold
backup, they will match and oracle will not do recovery.
you need to recover using backup controlfile and I am not sure if you
also need to have done a backup controlfile command
