Licensing in the cloud is like all cloud services, cost scales with use. I think you're talking about on prem usage which isn't relevant to most new users.
Does this apply if using cloud environments other than Oracle's own though? (Which is a far cry from on-prem, and relevant to perhaps a vast majority of businesses.)

Documents like https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/cloud-licensing-070579.pd... suggest that licensing for these environments is complicated at best, with the onus of reporting lying on the customer not the cloud provider.
Yes. That doc is for the case where you run everything yourself and just use cloud VMs; not an option for most modern cloud only database.
