Yes education on content filters is absurdly low despite how crucial they are for general use. There are so many layers of filters that exist today (and almost every major player has their own family filter app/system), but outside of the ones that are forced before use, many have absolutely no idea they exist. It gets tucked away in a settings menu somewhere under your account menu basically. Or like on iOS where you have to also go into screen time to set filters, it can be confusing!
This isn't to say the systems that exist are really good enough yet, many of them need to be more detailed. For example, most apps are an on or off toggle, rather than a "let my kid play minecraft but chat is disabled and they can only join designated family friendly realms". So what often ends up happening even for parents who do know about the filters, is they wind up relaxing them to the point of being useless.
