When I visit one of the sites I manage, that goes through CF (my personal ones don't), I see that the certificate that the browser sees is one provided by CF and not the one that I create using LetsEncrypt.
CF provides different encryption modes. So if it's "Full" you'll need a valid SSL cert on your server, which CF will use end-to-end. If it's "Flexible" (IIRC), then you don't need a cert on your server, in which case CF will use their own cert for encryption.
