We’ve been testing our devices in Windows 10 using Windows Hardware Lab Kit (WLK) and with the playlists so far it looks alright. But there’s a test called “USB-IF Certification Validation Test (Device).” HCK also has it but HCK has the option for using Interop tesing of USB devices, which means a test ID is not needed.
In WLK the interop option is gone and only a USB IF Test ID is provided. Does that mean that any USB device to be certified for Windows 10 is required to have USB IF certification?

They tried to enforce this once before. The last major release of the
WLK also required a test ID from a USB-IF testing laboratory, but after
a revolt from the vendors, they backed off and allowed you to run the
tests yourself, like it used to be.
You seem to be saying that they’ve re-instituted the external laboratory
testing requirement again.

We just downloaded WLK two weeks ago. In the USB-IF Certification test, the dialogbox field once present in HCK, which is used to specify the path of the logs of the self run tests in no longer present. The Test ID dialogbox field is the only thing we can see.
We found out the answer by asking. From this link:

“If you have run and passed the required USB-IF tests yourself, then you will simply submit the following Test ID (TID) when scheduling the test in the HLK: SELF_TEST.”
