If wiring cam doorbell with standalone transformer a d wires directly to the doorbell, no wiring to chime, do you need to use the provided fuse wire in the circuit? Or do you just wire directly from transformer to doorbell?

Just put the fuse in series with one of the wires that runs to the doorbell. It will prevent bad things from happening to your transformer if the wires get shorted together.
