how do I simulate a die throw? Can a random number generator between 1 to 6 do the same job?

doc randi
E.g., for a single throw you could use randi(6)

Why not? Remember that numbers are just symbols. It is how you choose to interpret those symbols that matters. If you want to associate a face of a die with the number 1, another face with the number 2, etc., why not? That is your choice.
A random integer generator such as randi generates equally probable numbers, if you want, from the set 1:6. And equiprobable is what a fair die would have as a property, right?
Mathematics is about symbols. It is too easy to get lost in the idea that mathematics is purely arithmetic.
