No, provided you use Erase all content and settings, the icloud data is fine.

Data only on the phone needs to be backed up first

(iCloud data such as Contacts, Reminders, iCloud Data is not backed up on the backup files)

If you delete any photo, file or Note manually then yes it's gone

If by reset you mean erase the phone, it will delete the iCloud data not at first but when it backs up again to iCloud after you erase the phone. However you can restore (not erase) the phone using the iCloud backup and not lose anything. You can also backup your phone to a computer, Mac or PC, and not lose that backup (what I recommend).
