Yes, if you want to create documents on your phone you would need Word which as an Office 365 subscriber you have access to and all its features. I rarely use Word even on the PC since my work requires daily use of Excel, but I don't use either on my iPhone since I find it is just too inefficient to create and work with documents on my phone. Everybody says the PC is declining, but if you look at CES this year there are PC's and laptops everywhere and as much as Apple and some other outfits may want people to think an iPhone, iPad or other tablet is a PC replacement I think that in an office environment where you work at a desk a desktop computer is still the way to go and it will be for some time to come. If any tablet is a computer replacement it's a Microsoft Surface and not an iPad. I think Apple is once again missing the boat by sticking to iOS on the iPad and by not introducing touchscreens to their still expensive line of Mac computers. I would say the reception this new touchbar received is luke warm at best and right now Microsoft is steeling Apple's Thunder so to speak when it comes to high-end desktop and laptop computers. Just read the reviews of the new Microsoft Stuido desktop and their Surface laptops.
Anyhow, back to your question, I very much assume that if you use one of the iOS apps like Word or Excel that anything you create will be saved in OneDrive and on an iPhone this means it will be saved to the cloud and should instantly be available on your computer if OneDrive is set up there.
