HBaseConfiguration.create() loads the configuration from the hbase-site.xml in the classpath. If you have multiple hbase-site.xml you should put the one that you want to use in the classpath.
The client hbase-site.xml doesn't need all the properties of the Master or the Region Servers. HBaseAdmin and all the other hbase classes are using HBaseConfiguration.create() so there is no difference. You must have the hbase-site.xml that you want to use in the classpath. If you want to know the configuration that each server is running, you can fetch it from the web-ui.
