No it doesn't have to, their article says if you enable it, the messages are resent someplace. Of course those that are have to be read by whatever summarizes them, so are not secured from Meta.
Honestly for systems operating on sequences of tokens, like those "AI"'s, I wonder if it's possible to divide their functionality so that it would be a zero-knowledge system with the side providing computation not being able to decipher them.
In the dumbest sense, if some operation can be reduced to multiplication of two numbers, or modulo 2 addition, or whatever, and those two numbers encrypted and combined thus result in something predictably decrypted by someone having encrypted the original numbers, then you can offload the hard operation to a remote service and not worry about them learning what the numbers really were. There are probably articles and whitepapers describing how to do exactly this, fundamental science is usually beyond what's been done practically.
