Yep it does indeed, Ansible also can talk to AWS, GCP etc, but that is not the point ;-) (And Terraform can SSH in to machines and execute commands just fine)

If someone is new to this, having a strong boundary makes it much easier to process how those systems are intended to be used and how they are built. There are certain assumptions made in both that make them work differently, i.e. being command centric vs. resource centric. That's interesting when someone is up to the point where you can apply what you know in a more general or generic sense, because then he systems themselves matter less.
