Will the GitHub cloud runners include arm-none-eabi-gcc by default?

That's what I understood from this blog post:
https://github.blog/2022-11-02-github-partners-with-arm-to-revolutionize-internet-of-things-software-development-with-github-actions/

We’re excited to share that we have partnered with Arm to revolutionize IoT software development by making Arm Development tools (Arm cross-compiler and Arm Virtual Hardware) natively available inside GitHub Actions cloud hosted runners to create an efficient CI workflow.

But looking at the GitHub hosted images repo I cannot find any reference to the GNU Arm GCC cross compiler, anywhere.

Apart from that, the examples from https://resources.github.com/devops/actions/arm-virtual-hardware/ are not building the project using the GitHub hosted runner, but requestion avhclient actions that actually run in an AWS server with "Arm Virtual Hardware" installed there:

When installing the GitHub runner in your own server is usually refferred to as "self-hosted runners", and the runners run by GitHub are usually reffered as "GitHub hosted runner".

So, from:

I'm not sure what GitHub Actions cloud hosted runners means exactly.
