Yes, there's this funny thing about English having 'one' and 'a/an' to mean the same thing unlike many other languages.
However this translation, "I buy one fan" would be possible in some cases where there is the possibility of more than one. For instance, you meet someone in the shop and they tell you they came to buy two fans. Then you would say you're buying one fan.
Otherwise you're buying a fan.
