There are never any ongoing costs for Roku hardware. But remember that the LG remote cannot control the Roku, and the Roku remote can only control the volume and power of the LG. You're always going to need two remotes for the two devices, unless the only thing you ever use the LG for is to display the Roku. If you want to watch OTA TV, or something else connected to the LG, you will still need the LG remote to control the TV.
Hisense and Sharp Roku tv IR remotes use the same IR code set as LG non-Roku tv's, no programming is needed. If OP got hold of Roku tv remote that just happened to control his LG tv be coincidence, he can buy a used Hisense or sharp Roku tv IR remote on ebay cheap.
