It usually does cover volumetric attacks since those usually bring everything down with it.
As to layer 7 or other types of attacks, it’s a tough call. You need specialized services. Cloudflare does great for its price. It’s not like the big cloud providers reliably solve this problem either.
This is a common misconception with many providers, they have DDoS protection to ensure that an attack against them won't cause your website/service being unavailable, however, if an attack targets your service, it most likely won't be filtered by their system.
