iPhone and Mac Air Backup on icloud

As our iphone is backup on icloud and when we put our id to new phone all setting and data restore automatically to new device. My question is when we use Mac too with the same id as iphone, can we restore our new mac through icloud? restore all data and setting?

Yes, if you loose both. You don't have to keep your external drive with your TimeMachine backups attached to your MacBook all the time. You can e.g. backup your Macbook once a week (or whenever you think you need to) and store your backup drive on a safe place.

You can set up iCloud and iCloud Drive, but keep in mind iCloud is rather used as a sync service https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204025 and https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208682
