oVirt for KVM is equivalent of XenCenter and vCenter for Xen and vSphere.
It helps to have another interface that is similar to vCenter or
XenCenter. Administratively, its a nice to have as it gives you all in
one view, but its not a must.

We are under impression that CloudStack can fully managed KVM hosts

Has anyone tried this yet? Any issues you can think of if KVM is managed
by oVirt and CloudStack.
I haven't tried this, but I see the potential of adding extra layers
of complexity.
CloudStack manages KVM just fine using libvirt. oVirt doesn't do
anything different, it also manages KVM using libvirt.
I personally don't see any benefit at this moment.
