The proper term is actually refrigerant - Freon is a specific brand name trademarked by DuPont for a series of CFC and HFC refrigerants - thus, an AC system only has Freon if it has the product manufactured by DuPont.
Answering your question, yes, an outside AC unit uses refrigerant, although it's normally not the same type used in automotive AC systems.
