direct burial network cable - should I get gel filled?

Yes, that is a patch cable with end terminations.

What about wet exposure?  The outdoor rated cables I saw all had at least 4 fibers as I recall - more than I need.

I would look at a cable like the one below.  Cables designed as patch cables are not meant to be pulled through conduit over long distances.  You're likely to damage the fiber if you do.   You need something more rugged than that.  The extra strength and protection of the fiber jacket will make the diameter of the cable larger, as will the pulling eye.  So you might want to consider a larger conduit size.
