yes. always get a new chain for a new cassette. It’s like 10-20 bucks dude.
using an old spaced out chain on a new cassette is a great way to drop your chain or jam it up, causing you to crash.

Did you get a new cassette or are you asking about chain life based on this cassette? If you got a new cassette then get a new chain. If you’re just wondering about chain life then check it with a chain checker tool.

It’s impossible to assess cassette wear by looking at it unless it’s completely trashed.

That cassette looks basically unused but it’s hard to tell from a photo. People here will tell you to get a new cassette, I would just use it, a cassette can do literally thousands of miles and multiple chains before you start having issues.

It sure looks like that cassette has been put through some bead blasting, judging from the surface pitting. A really clean, used cassette is still a used cassette. I would only pay pennies on the dollar for a used cassette.
