Yes it is just encryption at rest and their API access mechanisms automatically apply the encrypt or decrypt action on your behalf. If your access is leaky encryption doesnt buy you anything.

I take special offense to teams who store Terraform state in S3 and claim "it's encrypted" when it is so easy for other users in the same AWS account can easily access the buckets contents.

GCS is slightly more secure but you really need client side encryption to be safest.
