Does this same process work for the screen time passcode? Not the passcode to unlock the actual phone.

Yes you wipe the device to factory settings. and by back up to apple I assume you mean this If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support if that link doesn't work,, you follow the link I first provided.
