A"drain pump" machine uses a drain tube that is higher than the the level of water in the basin and therefore uses a mechanical pump to empty the tank overthat threshold pipe. A "dump valve" drain uses a mechanical valve at the bottom of the basin and simply opens to drain the tank.

Do i need a tub for the washing machine to drain can't i just drain it into a drain pipe?
You can drain it directly into a drain pipe. Just make sure the the top of the drain pipe is even with the top of the washing machine. If not, the water from the washing machine will drain all of the time. There is no valve in the machine to stop the water from draining. The washing machine drains using a pump motor.

It depends on whether or not your drain line is threaded at the top of the pipe. Older homes like mine have a threaded line but newer homes have a smooth line.
Why does a washing machine drain pipe keep overflowing even when there are no obstructions in the pipe?
The washing machine is pumping out water faster than the drain pipe can handle. A trap in the drain pipe to which the washing machine hose is attached is required and that makes the water flow slower than you might expect. Having the washing machine some distance from the main drain line requiring a long horizontal run in the machine's drain pipe will also result in a slower flow. Other causes could be: undersized waste pipe, backward wyes or santees, backgraded piping, backed up gray water system. An obstruction such as a checker piece or poker chip could be lodged within the pipe. Such an obstruction acts as a valve or flap that will pivot out of the way when a snake is pushed through the pipe but pivot closed when water attempts to flow through. Nowadays a two inch drain pipe is recommended. Some cities require two inches or larger. Do not seal around where the washing machine hose is hooked onto the drain pipe as this could overload components within the machine.

How does a washing machine pump water into it from the water pipes?
It doesn't pump the water in, where the hoses attach to the washing machine is a valve that opens and lets the water in. The pressure in the line forces the water in the same way it does when you turn on a faucet.
