Yes, if your computer is connected to the internet through your smartphone's mobile hotspot, both devices will appear to use the same public IP address. This is because your smartphone acts as a gateway to the internet for your computer. The smartphone uses its mobile data connection to access the internet and provides that connection to the computer, effectively sharing its public IP address with it.
However, each device will have its own unique private IP address on the local network created by the smartphone (usually in the range of 192.168.x.x or similar), but when accessing external websites or services, both devices will show the same public IP address.
