Photos in iCloud sync to any device that has iCloud enabled for photos. So if you have photos on your computer in the Photos app on Mac or in iCloud for Windows, or on any iOS device they will all be in sync. If the photos are in iCloud (you can check by going to https://icloud.com from any web browser) just turn on Photos in iCloud settings on your phone. As iCloud Photos is a syncing service, if you delete a photo from one device the photo will be deleted from all devices as well as from iCloud itself.
