Yes, iCloud Photos does not store or back up photos that have been removed from other connected devices. All changes are reflected on all devices that are connected to this iCloud account.
The feature "iCloud Drive" within iCloud would be a way to store data in iCloud.

In general, adding or deleting photos and other changes on your device will also add, remove or change the content in iCloud and on all devices that are connected to this iCloud account.
Sorry, but if the photos are not part of the "Recently Deleted" folder, or some other album, the photos got somehow deleted or damaged in another way. And it's hard to find a reason for that after such a long period of time.
Any chance you also created backup on your computer after you returned from your holidays?
This backup might contain those missing photos, but you'll have to restore from the whole backup, since parts of the data can't be extracted.
Before you start, make sure to have at least your current photos saved to an external HD, just to be sure.
Here's how to do that:

I’ve read that article but unfortunately my question is not about the deleted or hidden photos. It’s about my recent photos in my albums which is not deleted but missing from my gallery. Some of the photos just disappeared with me delete or hide.
The photos in not in my iPhone that’s why I wondered where did the photos goes to. Sometimes some of the old photos appeared on my iPhone gallery. I thought there’s a different storage for all my old photo in the iCloud. But I think I don’t understand how does the iCloud works.
Yes I understand what you are saying. My problem now is I didn’t deleted those photos in my iPhone & it’s not there & even not the iCloud. It’s all my holidays photos in the US early of this year Jan 2022. Definately I won’t delete quite a lot of my photos. If a few than maybe it’s not a a good ones.
If by any chance your missing photos have been moved to the Recently Deleted folder on your device, they would have been deleted automatically after 29 days, which you might not have noticed. And deleted photos from that folder can't be restored at all, sorry.
I’m very sure I didn’t deleted those photos bcoz it’s quite a number.. all the while I thought it will be kept in the iCloud storage. I didn’t know that the iCloud photo storage is same as my iPhone photo storage. Then what the point for me to subscribe the monthly iCloud. Before this i iPhone storage can saved more than 14,000 photo. Now my iPhone photo album only around 7000 photos
Are the missing photos still on your iPhone or another connected device?
If they are still part of your photo app on your phone, connect to Wi-Fi and try to upload them again.
Unfortunately I didn’t make any backup. It looks like I can never get the answer to make missing photos. I’m so sad & disappointed. I was thinking to unsubscribe the monthly iCloud.
