You can find a Freon leak in a home Ac unit by using a leak detector. These instruments are capable of detecting trace amounts of Freon and pinpoint leaks.
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.
If your window unit is low on freon, the unit will not cool sufficiently or blast out warm air. To find out what kind of gas is used in this type of unit, look on the rear panel for a label which should specify what type is required.

Well, if the unit was originally meant to be recharged with the old freon, a kit is needed to allow recharge with the new.
