soundcard and midi interface are two different thigns man.
that said... most "soundcards" do come with a midi interface lol.

also, most midi keyboards are USB these days, so they have their own midi interface. so you dont NEED to buy a soundcard, just the keyboard. BUT, i would buy a decent soundcard anyway. audiophile 24/96, youre going to need it

Does that mean i could just get a MIDI controller like the M Audio Radium or Evolution or the Edirol PCR series and use it with my Sound Blaster 5.1 ??

Then there's the question bout the lag. I will need a good soundcard to minimize that won't I?

Yes and yes.

lag = latency. having a better soundcard will fix that. alternatively you could use the ASIO4ALL software. but yeah, sound blasters aren't great anyway.
