Google Play Cloud Profiles is what I was thinking of, but I see it only starts “working” a few days after the app starts being distributed. And maybe this is merely a default PGO profile, and not a form of AOT in the cloud. The document isn’t clear to me.

Yup, it's just a PGO profile (alternatively, developers can also create their own profile and ship that for their app).
