Feel free to try it by yourself. Nothing easier than that. Reboot your phone and try to find it via Find My Device or ring it, without to enter your password before. It will not work.

BTW: it doesn't make sense to exclude security and privacy related things from encryption. Otherwise there would be an unusually high risk to compromise this sort of data.

    Interesting.
    For me the Google Find My Phone couldn't find the device (could only show the most recent location) and couldn't ring it, but the Samsung Find My Phone got the location, battery level and could ring it immediately.
    I'm guessing they added their implementation as an exception to the encryption, but not Google's implementation
