I am an iCloud customer and I know they use 3rd party cloud services.
Off topic, but good to mention: backups from Apple devices are indeed encrypted on iCloud but in general other files in ~/Documents and ~/Desktop and in the iOS file manager are not encrypted. I make a habit of adding passwords to sensitive files, which is a nuisance. Apple should encrypt everything going to iCloud by default.
