Will deleting a shared album I didn't create remove it for others?

If I’m not the creator of a shared photo album will deleting it off my iPhone also delete it off the other subscribers?

When you are not the owner of a shared album you are only in control of the photos you shared yourself, but not the photos shared by others.

To delete a shared album from your devices that you do not own, terminate your subscription to this shared album. Others will still be able to access the shared album. You will have to remove your own photos before you terminate the subscription. Later it will no longer be possible.
