No it doesn't — that's a totally different threat model.

Advanced Data Protection is mostly concerned with protecting data from attackers on the server and in transit.

If you're interested in protections when an attacker has physical access to your device, you should read the "Encryption and Data Protection" section of Apple's Platform Security Guide.
