I've got a game running and I wanted to output some text on top of what is going on.

I know I cant simply just use cout so how would I output text in SDL? Would it be the using SDL_TTF? Is that the only way?

Google is your friend
But anyway, here you go: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson07/index.php
This site is pretty good for learing SDL!

Short of creating your own bitmap font, yes. That's pretty much the standard font library for SDL.
