Are supposed to use a default Gameboy UI or are we allowed to use our own, and do we have to make it during the Jam?

i don’t think there is any default Game Boy UI. i’m not sure what you mean by that. please refer to the FAQ:

What can I work on before the jam?
You are allowed to set up your tools and your game engine. Tools include: palettes, fonts, tracker instruments and code libraries.

if you’re asking about fonts, that is also cleared up in the FAQ:

Can I use a public domain font?
Yes. You do not have to make your own font for this jam.

In GB Studio there is a default menu UI*, but what if I want to make my own?

There's no restrictions on how things look like (ie: menus and other UI elements). As long as you're using a 160x144 resolution and there's only 4 colors on the screen at one time, you're good to go.
