Google indexing question ...

Hello

All of the public images get indexed, I can see them in my Google search console which is great.

Quick question, with regards to the other types of uploads. If am album is set to private (just me), i.e. only the account holder can see it, I assume that this is not indexed as Google would get a page not found.

What about the albums that are set to semi-private, i.e. public (anyone with link), would these be routinely indexed by Google when they crawl my site?

Any unlisted or private content won't be crawled by search engines or anything kind of crawler.

That's the point of being private content.

Sure, I appreciate that.

I meant specifically the content marked "public (anyone with link)"

I assume this is being indexed?

No, is not indexed at all. Unless someone with that link send it to Google.
