Drift detection is only implemented for a very small subset of resources: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGui...

Terraform does indeed reconcile drift 'automatically' across all resources, by which I mean the plan will include changing everything that's drifted back to the specified configuration. That may not always be desirable, which is why building a good plan/apply process with approval is important. (Same goes for CloudFormation, though.)
