It covers the same 13 baseline optimizations plus a long list of opt-in ones that Automated intentionally skips — things that are useful only on specific hardware (AMD fixes), specific hosting (OVH RTM), or specific workloads (IOMMU/VFIO, Ceph repo, High Availability, Fastfetch, Figurine, ZFS ARC tuning, pigz, ZFS auto-snapshot, vzdump speed limits, Open vSwitch, TCP BBR…)."

Changes are tracked independently; the Uninstall menu shows everything you have applied regardless of which path added it."
