I just purchased a Condo and my loan officer said that I need to have a HO6 insurance as per recent changes in policies (even though I paid for flooding, hazards, etc. as part of my HOA fee). Is this true? Even if I need to get one, how much do I need and where could I get the best rates?

Yes, you should get a HO6 apart from your HOA asap since technically HO6 covers everything inside your unit - your personal belongings, the walls, the floor and ceiling against all perils. You could use the “Get Free Insurance Quote” widget in the right sidebar in order to get some good quotes.

I think you should buy the condominium insurance policy with help of insurance agent because it will be beneficial to cover your home damage. A condo insurance policy usually covers your home and a part of the dwelling...

Not exactly. An HO-6 policy provides limited liability protection for damage to the structure due to the occupant's negligence, as well as pays for replacement or repairs for most everything from the inside walls of the occupancy inward.
The Condo Association is technically responsible for the structure from the inside walls outward, but many CC&Rs have a provision that requires a unit owner to indemnify the Association for its cost to perform structural repairs -- I've seen amounts up to as much as $50,000. If you own a condo and don't have that kind of money lying around, paying a few hundred dollars per year for a HO-6 policy is probably a wise thing to do.
