AirPlay video requires the iPhone and Apple TV to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Will it use that data? Yes, and plenty of it.
Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I forgot to mention that the router converts the cellular data to WI FI.
So it will still use data Even if I download the video from my home internet before I go to the cottage?
Certainly. You need a method to transmit data from the iPhone to the Apple TV.
