If I'm using multiple clients that connect to one server to send stats from collectd do I need to enable on server the same plugins that are enabled on client? Or is the data already processed and somehow labeled for use by server?

You only need the plugins on the client(s).
CollectD sends the stats to the (graphite etc.) server with the machine name prefixed to the data. e.g. from my collectd machine: "collectdlocalhostcollectd.cpu-0.cpu-idle"
