You'll very likely be using Screen Sharing and not Apple Remote Desktop. Apple Remote Desktop costs ~US$80 in the App Store. The Screen Sharing client and server are both part of OS X.
Apple Remote Desktop works with OS X devices. As does Screen Sharing.
Screen Sharing does require you to authenticate into the target system.
If you want to access screen sharing on Microsoft Windows systems, acquire a copy of CoRD or other similar package.
