Enterprise State Roaming with Azure Hybrid Joined and Azure AD Sync

Question

Can someone explain in clearer terms exactly what this is saying? I have an environment with Active Directory and Azure AD Sync - and my domain machines are also Hybrid Joined. Can I still take advantage of Enterprise State Roaming? This Note makes me question whether or not Enterprise State Roaming is meant for my use case, and unfortunately I don't find this to be worded clearly enough:

Hello Gerald,

Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

This is basically saying that if you're using AzureAD then you don't need to have your domain account connected to a windows account because Azure is doing it for you instead. I have environments that don't have AzureAD implemented and in those cases, the users Microsoft accounts are synced to their Microsoft domain rather than Azure.
