No. Cloud servers are remote but not all remote servers belong to a “cloud”. You can set up a server remotely – say in an office and access it via the internet. This merely makes it remote.

Cloud services are typically very large third party providers. In essence, the person utilizing the service does not own or operate the hardware. They rent it or lease it from a third party. This third party can scale up or down these services based on the service agreement and typically operates very large servers or storage networks – typically called a warehouse.
