If I bought any USB Type-C fast charger, would the fast charge work on my Nexus 5x? Say if bought a Google Pixel fast charger, would the fast charge work with my Nexus?

Nexus 5x Fast Charging Compatibility?

As long as the charger uses the rapid charging technology that is a part of the USB-C spec, yes. USB-C allows both the charger and the chargee to negotiate to find the best/fastest charging rate supported by both ends. That doesn't necessarily mean that the Nexus 5X will charge as quickly as the Pixel, but it will still be able to rapidly charge - again, as quickly as is supported by both the charger and the chargee.
