If you deploy the custom fact, the agent would need to perform a single run and then send the report to puppetdb. Afterward, it would be visible in the admin console (assuming you mean PE console here) in all the usual places, such as in the node details and filtering by fact valued.
The runs don't need to change anything, but they do need to complete and send the report; if this doesn't happen every 14 days by default, it will get purged from puppetdb and of course no longer show up.
