You need iTunes to use the iPhone tethered by a USB cable to a computer. Any device with a Wi-Fi radio can connect to a hotspot created by an iPhone, as it simply appears as a Wi-Fi signal, open to any with the password.

Be careful of the data volumes your computer uses compared to your phone, or you will receive a shocking data bill.
