Yes, by deleting a photo from your iPhone, it deletes the photo from your iCloud library.


If you want to save space on your iPhone using iCloud, follow these steps from Apple:

Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos.
Turn on iCloud Photos.
Select Optimize iPhone Storage to save space on your device.
