I don't know

Is this also under the jurisdiction of electron-builder?

Yes, most features of electron-builder can just be configured in the vue.config.js (see https://nklayman.github.io/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/guide/configuration.html#configuring-electron-builder). This project just forward this configuration to the builder. I doesn't do anything to it. So when something is not working, the issue is in your configuration or in the builder.

For this issue, I have found the following link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63001117/how-to-read-from-env-file-in-electron-builder-yaml-config-file. To me it seems the ENV file variables can be used in a config file/object. This project provides a configuration object to the builder based on the config in vue.config.js. So you should be able to use the values from the ENV file in vue.config.js. Based on the same assumption I THINK the ENV file is not packed, as it is only used in configuring the build.
