Thank you in advance!
All Jellyfin clients will never transcode. Transcoding is the sole job of the server, not of the clients. A transcode is necessary to convert videos to be playable by the client.
It depends on the client, but no matter what, all videos need to be decoded by a device so that it can be played on a screen. It could be the CPU or GPU on your phone doing the decoding, but the decode will happen regardless.
