no, systemd has its own dhcp client (in fact, import of systemd-networkd code).
Or it can use dhcp-client or other dhcp clients.

It depends which settings you are talking about.

BTW, latest version of cloud-init upstream landed NM in May (to handle NM
config file natively, as Fedora is moving away from ifcfg files).
