The "other devices" in your iPhone's personal hotspot usage typically refers to any devices that have connected to your hotspot to use your phone's internet connection. Even if you don't use a computer, laptop, or tablet, other devices like another smartphone, a gaming console, or even a smart TV could have connected to your iPhone's hotspot, consuming data.
