Good afternoon KiltedPaladin,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you would like to know if Screen Time settings are saved in an iCloud backup of your son's iPad. Yes, the settings on the device are included in a backup. But you must write down the passcode you used in a safe place, as that information is not stored anywhere.
Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPad - iPad User Guide
"Important: If you set up Screen Time for a family member on their device (not through Family Sharing), and you forget the Screen Time passcode, you need to erase iPad before restoring from an iCloud or a computer backup. (See Restore all content to iPad from a backup.) However, if you set up Screen Time for a family member on your device through Family Sharing and you forget your Screen Time passcode, you can reset it on your device using your device passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID."
Take care.
