If you delete photos on iPhone it will deleted on iCloud too and vice-versa.


iCloud backup doesn’t include information that are synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memosshared photosiCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.


*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.
