Is this missable? Can I find all of the monster on chapter 5? I want to get the achievement.

You can get any monster in the Via Infinito in Chapter 5 IF you encountered it in the game once before. Previously, this meant that you could miss certain monsters from one-time areas (like Cactuar Hollow), however now there is the Creature Creator - through capture and the Fiend Arena, you can pretty much collect any monster if you're patient enough. Note however that some may be quite difficult to unlock there in Chapter 5.

Not true. Every fiend in the game will appear in Via Infinito regardless of whether you encountered them in other areas or not (I should know this, as I just got done oversouling every fiend in the game there, including ones I never encountered elsewhere).

The ONLY exception is Azi Dahaka. It will only appear in Via Infinito after you encountered it at least once in the Farplane Abyss.

Oh, good to know. Easy peasy then.
