  No, you wouldn’t have it if your blog is hosted on WordPress.com. We do not have plugins. They are only for independently-hosted WordPress.ORG blogs, as you can see from perusing https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/plugins

  Buying the custom domain gives you only that: a custom domain. It does not turn a WP.com blog into a WP.org blog.

  You can buy all the upgrades you want, you will not be allowed to install plugins.

  As raincoaster told you, the option is to move to WordPress.ORG.
