Are all the stars we can see with naked eyes part of the Milky way galaxy?

Yes.

You can see things like the Andromeda galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds with the naked eye, but not individual stars in those objects.

Supernova SN 1987a in the Large Magellanic Cloud was naked-eye visible, but a supernova is, of course, a special case.  There was a supernova in Andromeda in 1885 (SN 1885a) that was just bright enough that it might have been visible to the naked eye, but there is no record that anyone actually saw it that way.
