The wall is down to the studs...I planning to install cement board directly to the studs. Is it appropriate to install the cultured stone directly to the cement board without a wire mesh or scratch coat? The stone is a stacked stone?

I like putting a scratch coat on for most installs over Durock. The reason is you get much better initial (faster) grab than with out it. It works better i you let the scratchcoat dry completely first.
