     That depends on which backup method is used. For the 'built-in' Backup   
   by Google One method, you're correct. But for example Samsung's Smart   
   Switch program, can/does backup and restore APKs.   
      
     Also there are many other backup apps for Android, which can also   
   backup/restore APKs.
