No. When you buy iCloud Storage, what you are buying is more space in iCloud to sync more data with iCloud. It cannot add memory to your iOS devices. The memory on your devices was fixed at purchase so if you need more space on either your iPhone or iPad, you'll have to delete things you don't need or use. Or consider buying newer devices with more memory.
