The iPad Air 4th generation has a USB-C connection. It can use either a USB-C to UCB-C cable or a USB-C to UCB cable.
The iPhone 12 has a Lightning connection. It can use either a Lightning to USB-C cable or a Lightning to USB cable.
The PC may have either USB connections or USB-C connections or both.
The About the Apple USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple Support is not likely to be helpful in connecting either the iPad or the iPhone to a PC (at least in most cases). The adapter has a male USB-C connection and a female USB connection -- that is normally helpful in situations where you have a USB device such as a external drive that has a male USB connection and you need to connect it to a device that only has USB-C connections such as recent Mac computers.
If your PC only has USB connections, you need an adapter similar to https://www.amazon.com/Female-Adapter-Charger-Airpods-Samsung/dp/B079LYHNSR?th=1
Note that I have not tested that adapter. Another option would be to buy the cables I described in the first two lines above that have USB connections.
