I suspect it is, though I haven't delved in their financials to prove it. Giving a different internal pricing to their own product could be constructed as an anti-competitive action, and someone would have sued them for that. If they merely didn't report it [that is, didn't count it in Office/GSuite costs], it would sound like hosting for free which again could be considered anti-competitive, so that sounds unlikely to me.
My original comment was just saying that there's no good reason not to count GSuite/Office in respective GCP/Azure marketshare. Obviously these cloud-products could have been hosted in different clouds, but they aren't.
