How should I format an A4 newsletter of 12 pages with bleed for pdf?

I am using Serif PagePlusX8.

Would it be correct to say bleed should be only on 3 sides as no bleed is needed on the 4th side?

Speak with your print provider. No one here can definitively state what any particular print provider may need.

In many cases, you need a PDF/X-1a file which consists of single pages with a full bleed (full = all 4 sides. Yes even a bleed for the gutter). The print provider will then impose the single pages to print correctly.

Caveat: Some online self-publishing services have very specific formatting guidelines for production. You should review any online service guidelines before generating a press-ready PDF.
