When would I need to convert grams to moles?

Stoichiometry calculations require moles. You weigh substances in grams but need moles to determine reaction ratios.

Can I convert grams to moles without molar mass?

No. Molar mass is required because different substances have different masses per mole.

A mole is 6.022 × 10^23 particles (Avogadro's number). It is the SI unit for amount of substance.
