If you want your friend to connect to the database on your PC - and he can connect, than you don't need to install the DBMS on his PC. Otherwise you will have to.

Not necessarily. If you have your database hosted on some machine accessible, then all you need is correct connection string to talk to database - but, make sure you would need connectivity here.

If your application is a stand alone application that would not be connected to internet/intranet and needs to work offline all alone, you have to place the database on your friends system too along with the application.
Just to add, for such scenarios, having Oracle as backend is more of a problem.
