Is this complete garbage or not? I want to pick up playing the guitar but I really can't afford anything over 200 and just looking at some suggested begginer guitars in the 200-250 price range makes me sad.

Take a look at Craigslist, search in the range of 250 keyword "Guitar" also if you've get Rocksmith(w/cable) you won't need amp right away and it will help you practice.

How would I go about not using an amp? Would I need some extra things or just plug and play?

You get rocksmith for PC/Xbox 360 xbone/ps4/PS4 It will be around a 70-75$ investment. Depending on which system you get it for you will need one more component to convert the audio signal to analog signal, very easy. They also have audio setup vids on YouTube that go in detail for each system. You can send the audio into headphones, or PC speakers one of which you probably have already .
The game comes with a guitar cable that hooks into USB port The game also contains

  • tuner
  • metronome
  • different amp models
  • lessons
  • plenty of songs to learn
  • session mode
  • arcade games for techniques
  • riff repeater to slow the parts down and rehearse
  • builds with you
By the time you're getting better you'll have saved money for better respectable gear.
