Pluginsync will sync all the <modulepath>/<any_module>/lib/facter/* (custom fact implementations). These all WILL be used by the client, though the resulting facts might or might not be afterward referenced by the server. It will also sync custom types and providers from <modulepath>/<any_module>/lib/puppet/type/* and <modulepath>/<any_module>/lib/puppet/provider/*. Whether or not the types and providers are used by the client depends on the contents of its catalog, but that isn't known yet (even by the master) when plugins are synced, as it may depend on the custom facts. Manifests are not synced, but they are not useful to clients (in master / agent mode), and anyway they are not plugins. All of this applies to EVERY module in the applicable module path. If you have not already done so, you should consult the documentation for distributing plugins <https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html>.
