So, A compression test would tell me if the timing chain needs replacing?
No, they are separate.
Compression test
and/or
leakdown test
will give you an idea what kind of shape your pistons, rings, and valves are in. Either test can indicate whether or not much more expensive engine work is on the horizon, and it may or may not be worth putting small parts into.
The compression gauge can be had for $20:

Leakdown gauge is a little more:
