Yup, you definitely DO NOT need the "tethering" option from you carrier.

Indeed, on the ISP point of view all traffic is generated from smartphone. (Some time this happens to be due to a local app, some time "on the behalf of" another device that the smartphone routes. But there's only 1 single IP address ever seen, the routing handles masquerading)

Ad-Hoc : haven't tested with the Xperia X specifically.
But, back with my Jolla 1 I was in the same situation (was tethering from my HP Pre3 until I switched SIMs around), so the OS it self supports it.
Unless there's a weird bug on the Wifi chip on the Xperia X that I'm unaware of, it should work as expected.
