Do I need a server in my lobby?

I'm using Playfab and Fishnet to create lobbies and matchmaking systems for games like PUBG and Fall guys. In PUBG, when I access the lobby, I see my character standing there, and when I invite my friends, it increases to 4 people. Does a lobby like this require a master server, or do I need to use Relay and Playfab together, or can I just use Playfab and not need a server or host?

If you mean, you want the player to be able to invite other players to his lobby after creating it, then PlayFab Lobby should meet your requirements, you don't have to use an additional server to implement it. For more information, you can refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/multiplayer/lobby/lobby-invites . And in PlayFab lobby system, there is a unique map of member properties for each member in the lobby, all members of the lobby can see every other member’s property. So, if your game requires players to be able to view information about other players, it should suit your needs.
