They aren't part of the backup but will be redownloaded from the App Store after restoring it if they're still available there.

Icloud doesn’t show all of my apps I was about to get a new phone and I went to back up my old phone with iCloud but it didn’t show me all of my apps in the iCloud storage part. Is this intentional or will the other apps not get backed up?
