You generally do not need to manually add h264parse unless you want to
transform the h264 stream from one type to another, or something like
that.

For automatic demuxing / parsing, you want parsebin. It will
automatically plug in demuxers and parsers. You can then subscribe to
pad-added on it and plug in the rest of the pipeline based on what you
get.
