If your text box is set to “Static” text the font gets embedded automatically.
If your text box is a dynamic text box, just click on it, then open the properties panel (CTRL+F3) then click on the button that says “Character…” and choose to embed the font outlines for all characters.

If you embed the font outlines on your dynamic or input textbox, yes it does.
If your textbox is static, you don’t have to embed it (actually I don’t think the character button is enabled for this type) because it will work anyway.
So yep, they will be able to see it if they don’t have it installed if you do that.
