Steam states for me that no cloud support, can't enable/disable cloud, no folder is done under steams userdata folder and after removing save files from local memory they aren't loaded.
So I would pretty safely say that it doesn't use Steam Cloud. Also prefer manually looking this as steam store page and steamdb may lie in some cases.
