In this particular case (Orlanth Adventurous) you get the Movement Affinty from the Aspect, and Bonus Feats from the subcult. You don't get a full Movement affinity from the subcult.

Sure, any Adventurous devotee can improvise "Lift objects with Wind" using the Movement Affinity, but everyone but Destor gets hit by the Improvisational Penalty. If you are a Destor devotee, you don't have to improvise "Find a way" and "Lift Object with winds", they are added to your list of feats for the Movement affinity.
