As a general rule, when you introduce a subordinate clause with "that", you'll want to use "que" in Spanish; when you introduce it with "what", you'll want to use "lo que". There are some expressions, but 99% of the time, this rule will work.
WHAT he had said is true.
LO QUE había dicho es cierto.
He said something THAT is true.
Dijo algo QUE es cierto.

sí, es necesario, igual que en inglés no puedes decir "he had writen was true".
Yes, it is necessary, like in english you cannot say "he had writen was true".
En esa oración - Lo = What
In that sentence - Lo = What
