You need to use Child object in apex:inputField tag to get a look up field for parent. For ex. if you want to create a look up Account record, one way could be using child Contact record. Please refer code snippet below:

<apex:page standardController="Contact">

   <apex:form>
     <apex:inputField value="{!Contact.Account}" />
  </apex:form>

</apex:page>

hi,

You can use <apex:inputfiled> to bind fields with datatypes with which they have been created.
You will get more information on http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_inputField.htm

If this helps mark this as best answer.

Thanks,
N.J
