Does ShellExecute() and ShellExecuteEx() calls CreateProcess() internally?

I've read in a couple of places that ShellExecute() and ShellExecuteEx() calls CreateProcess() internally, is this true? is it documented somewhere in MSDN?

Yes, ShellExecuteEx calls CreateProcess internally, as you can easily show by setting a breakpoint on CreateProcess and then making a call to ShellExecuteEx:

call stack from ShellExecute to CreateProce
