Does a wifi hotspot count as the same network as the network from the host?

I am asking because my desktop is on a wired connection and i would like to buy a wifi pci-e card as a hotspot(can i even host from a wired connection?) for my phone(my room is 2 floors higher that the router).

I want to use my phone for companion usage and downloading local songs on spotify.
For both of these activities i need to be on the same network.
It just isn't very efficient to walk downstairs with my phone and stuff.

So would that wifi hotspot thing work?
If so, any recommendations for a wifi card for hotspot use?

Or would it be more handy to install an access point somewhere.
