What every character needs

Ascension	At level	Tier	Count
1	20	Sliver	1
2	40	Fragment	3
3	50	Fragment	6
4	60	Chunk	3
5	70	Chunk	6
6	80	Gemstone	6

Gems craft upward 3 for 1 and never back down, and changing element costs 1 Dust of Azoth per gem within a tier, which is why a total count of gems is not enough to know whether you are covered.

Questions

How many ascension gems does a Genshin character need to reach 90?

1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, 6 Gemstones of their element, the same for every character.

Can you convert ascension gems between elements?

Yes, same tier only, for 1 Dust of Azoth each. Crafting 3 into 1 of the next tier costs nothing, but there is no way back down.

Which ascension gem does the Traveler use?

Brilliant Diamond, which sits outside the seven elemental families: it cannot be converted to or from them, and account exports do not track it, so it is not covered here.
