iCloud Backup and iCloud Photos are two different things.
If you log into www.icloud.com using an internet browser and go to the Photos app there, any photos that you can view there are iCloud Photos.
When iCloud Photos isn't turned on in a device, then the photos may be included in an iCloud Backup. You cannot view the contents of a Backup.
If you delete an iCloud Backup, that will not delete any iCloud Photos.
