Yes it can run external commands via custom resources.
Terraform allows you to call an arbitrary shell command in you machine, not just trigger some webhook.

What is the practical difference between “calling an arbitrary shell command” and “calling an arbitrary lambda”?
Honestly I don't even know how to respond to such a comment. Let's just leave it at that.

Yes because in scenario 1 your running code that you write outside of the template and in scenario two you’re calling out custom code....
If you are saying a nonsensical argument like "not IaC because it can't rollback" I can say CloudFormation is not IaC because it can't even import a local file to grab some values. Or run external commands
