Yes, it is very often used with "the" in this sense, but it doesn't have to be. You can use it with a possessive:

This was his one chance to win his money back.
Her one redeeming feature was her hairdo.
My one wish is that my dog will get better.

Are you asking how to decide which definition of "one" to use when you see it in your reading? It's hard to say. When you get more fluent, you will just realize it effortlessly. That's what I do.
