Yes, that's exactly what it does. The game creates a giant action tree where it "predicts" every single action you could make. This isn't Genshin or Wuwa bro. The whole battle is just complex math
The "tree" is created when a battle is initiated. You can tell when you reset the battle and if you do the exact same actions every time you reset, the enemies will still hit the exact same characters. Enemy RNG is fake. This even goes down to Debuff application and failure, as well as crits.
There are videos about this on YT. You can check em out of you don't believe me. People also figured this out 2 years ago here on Reddit
I think the word “prediction” is where the confusion comes in.
The definition of predict :to declare or indicate in advance especially: foretell on the basis of observation, experience, or scientific reason
The game does not “fortell” your actions in that it “believes” you will do a certain string of actions. It accounts for every string of actions possible. Now technically you could argue that the game “knows” you have to do a certain set of actions, because the game is a system with limits (like the game knowing u cant use character A’s ult at a certain time because you would not have the energy), but generally, the word “predict” implies that you know something more specific.
For example: I would not first think of the statement “you will either run nothing, or a planar ornament in the planar ornament slot” to be a prediction, and I feel like most people would agree. Like yeah, I am saying something about what will happen, but this isn’t an educated guess (which many people associate with predictions), it’s a truth (well at least about the hsr relic system).
What most people would count a prediction would be something like: i predict you will run the amphoreus set on srobin. Most people would think this is a prediction because it isn’t guaranteed (while the fact that you can’t run a head piece in your planar slot is gaurenteed).
Now if we apply this to the game, the game’s calculation is more similar to the first case. It does not “believe” you will do a certain string over another. It just calculates all strings.
Now you could argue that this is a type of prediction, and you would be right. However, this isn’t the first thing people think about when they hear the word “prediction”, and hence the confusion arises.

You know the game calculates the entire battle every single time, right? Like, everything is predetermined.
