Of course they do. These are statements.

No, it's not.

I just tested to be 100% sure, on 12.6 and pg_dump queries are in
pg_stat_statements.

Just consider what would you do if excessive dumping was causing
problems. You want these to be gone from stats?

If you don't care about COPY, then filter it out using WHERE clause.
