I’m not sure if it works on a file or block level for CoW, but yes.
However APFS gives you a number of space related foot-guns if you want. You can overcommit partitions, for example.
It also means if you have 30 GB of files on disk that could take up anywhere from a few hundred K to 30 GB of actual data depending on how many dupes you have.
It’s a crazy world, but it provides some nice features.
