Does GIT_SSH_COMMAND apply to all git commands that connect to remote?

I'm asking this question, because in docs it explicitly mentions git fetch and git push. Does it apply do other commands
like git clone? If yes then maybe this information should be added?

If either of these environment variables is set then git fetch and git push will use the specified command instead of
ssh when they need to connect to a remote system
