free wheel = if you pedal backwards you just spin, the freewheel is screwed on to the hub and doesn't come with the wheel.

coaster brake = there is a foot brake and if you try to pedal backwards you stop the bike, the chainwheel in the back is part of the hub

If you have to stop your bike with handbrakes, you should be good to go (you'll probably have to get a freewheel also if the spinner is a complete wheel).

Well, if I remember correctly the bike has two wheels, the "free" wheel and the "chain" wheel. The free wheel is the one in front.
