Definitely not.
Most ceramic coatings are 0.5-1 mil thick.
For comparison, outer layer of laminated windshield glass is typically around 2.1mm to 2.5mm, or 82-100 mils thick. Clear-coat is ~5-7 mils.
As you can surmise, ceramic coating will not fill scratches or chips in either clearcoat or glass.

Interestingly, I've used Adam's Ceramic and Graphene coatings on my cars paint. I found the former (ceramic) to be more long lasting, and easier to work with that the newer graphene one.
I've also tried applying multiple water beadings coatings to windshields in all four (4) of my cars for many years. None last longer than ~6-9 months when exposed to wiper abrasion.
Of those that I've personally tried, I find all of the following to perform similarly, with the only distinction being how long they last before requiring re-application:
Griots glass ceramic < RainX < Griots rain sealant < Aquapel Glass Treatment < Stoner Invisible Glass Ceramic.
GYEON Quartz QuickView is next in my "to try" queue.
HTH,
