There is no requirement for a regulator for oxycon, oxycons generally put oxygen out at about 7-9 psi... Connection is typical like graphic below...
.
IF there is plastic adapter ( like graphic below or in frame 1 above) on oxycon it can be removed....
Yes you do need regulator for propane as tank pressures (in full tank) are around 125 psi which is way to high and dangerous for direct connection.... Typical most lampworkers use a welding style regulator for "acetylene" for their propane.... No it is not a misprint, it is ( the acetylene regulator) the commonly accepted regulator for propane... And it should run at about 2-4 psi...
Propane (acetylene) regulator will look similar to graphic below, and connector (CGA 510 style) on right side connects directly to propane tank and connector on lower left side hooks directly to welding style hose...

A little side note is most fuel hoses and connections at tank, torches and regulators have counter clockwise (left hand ) threads if they are standard welding "connections", they are also designated by groove in "hex" portion where one uses a wrench to tighten connection ....
