If it is in the RAM, they can read it. Since it is a virtual server they can freeze and clone the current state and connect to that copy and read all data that is currently encrypted/opened without you even knowing.
Technically a lot of the newer chips used in datacenters support encrypted VMs which encrypts the RAM too, although you still have to trust that the hosting provider uses that feature.
I'm assuming that would drive up costs, so not very many use it
They will offer it as an optional service and charge you for it. So yes they use it.
