Depends on if the game devs set it up to do so or not.

:qr:
my ps4 controller used to work fine in many games, and the buttons shown were ps buttons...but on those same games the ps5 controller doesnt work like that..

Did you enable

Steam-Settings-Controller-General Controller Settings- [V] PlayStation Configuration Support

after you've changed controllers?

The game ahs to support PS4 styled inputs

Most games dont since PS4 support on windows basically is non-existent so most devs dont bother to put ps prompts in their games

Since xinput is basically what is required for the xbox, they can use their existing console code to put in xbox prompts into the game. And again since xinput is standard in windows its easier to just put xbox prompts

for example, games like AC Origins and The Witcher worked fine with the PS4 controller and showed PS buttons but with the PS5 controller it doesnt work
