Will Google Photos Backup Photos on Mac?

I’m considering switching from PC to Mac. I store all of my photos in the photos folder in Windows, and google photos backs up this folder. If I switch to Mac, I’m going to start using the Photos app, but I noticed that my whole photos library would appear as just “photos library” in finder, and non of the photos would actually be in finder. Can google photos still backup everything in the “photos library” file, or do I have to store all of my photos in finder? Thanks.
