Some projects only give you .tar.gz, what am I supposed to do with them? Is this what people call building from source? Am I supposed to move it to /opt and extract it in Debian based distros? Does this also work on Arch based ones?

Manjaro is an Archlinux based Linux Distro. So you can install an UNTRUSTED user package like wine-gui-git with an AUR helper like yay/paru/… like you mentioned.
But please install not software you don’t understand how to build. It can be dangerous code.
For the package wine-gui-git the building script is https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=wine-gui-git . So you can look and learn how to build the software by yourself.
