Are my photos backing up?

My phone is saying that it has not backed up to iCloud in over a year. However, when I login to icloud.com all of my photos are there. Does this mean that my photos have backed up even though my phone says it has not backed up?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Your photos are being synced to iCloud via the iCloud Photo Library, not backed up via iCloud Backup.
