Question for someone running Server 2012 datacenter edition without VMM... Can you put 2012 R2 guests on that guy or do you have to upgrade 2012 to R2 first?
 
Do you have to use generation 1 for the VM type when creating the guest?

Can a generation 2 guest be moved to a 2012 non-R2 host?
 
I think generation 2 was implemented first in 2012R2 so you only have the option to use generation 1.
I would suspect you cannot run gen2 guests on 2012, as 2012R2 introduced that.
 
2012 and lower only supports Gen 1, and 2012 R2 supports Gen 1 and Gen 2.
There is no automatic way to convert a VM from Gen 1 to Gen 2, however I saw a script on Aidan Finn's site that can do it. I haven't messed with it myself yet. It also only works one way, no way to go back to Gen 1.
