Does the AnyConnect Client reveal your IP address to wherever it connects?

I'm not familiar with the AnyConnect VPN software, but I'm familiar with other VPN software that can hide/spoof your IP and make it look like you are in another state or even another country. I assume this is because wherever you connect checks your IP and knows exactly your region/country/location and even your ISP provider.

I have been doing some work recently where we connect to a VPN with the AnyConnect Client in order to make the server or wherever we connect to believe we are in another location; now this gives us access to the intranet where before we could only access it in a building located in a whole other region. From there once we are connected to the intranet we can work as normal using another app to work from a Virtual Desktop. Previously we would have to access the intranet from inside the Virtual Desktop so this can slow things down with numerous people using the intranet.

Now I don't know if Cisco has some software services that they provide for AnyConnect Client users, but my question now is when I connect to the server in order to access the intranet does the server now know my IP address, ISP, and my exact location/Region? Does AnyConnect share this information with wherever it connects or if it connects to its own server software?

Will this organization now have all my information?
