I'm confused about usage of fonts in adobe when freelancing.

I did a brochure freelance job and I used Baskerville URW from Adobe Fonts. 

I heard I can use fonts in Adobe Fonts for commercial jobs, but what if my client doesn't have adobe? Does that make my client unable to use my work since it has Adobe Fonts' font?

The normal workflow is to provide your client / printer with a print-ready PDF of the InDesign document. You wouldn't provide the native INDD files. If you do you would Package them.

Oh, I meant about the license or usage about fonts. I comprehended that If a person buys Adobe plans(creative cloud membership), that person is allowed to use fonts in Adobe Fonts commercially. But what if my client didn't buy Adobe plans? If my client didn't buy Adobe plans, then does that make my client not be allowed to use my design since it has fonts from Adobe Fonts?

If you deliver a PDF where the fonts are included there is no issue with the license at all.

What exactly does "use my work" mean? If your client only owns a non-cloud version of InDesign and has no subscription of Creative Cloud, e.g. InDesign CS 6 or below, your client has no access to Adobe Fonts.
