Depending on the Standard or Flexible Runtime, different PHP versions are supported.

For the Standard Environment:

App Engine runs your PHP web application using a PHP version 5.5.34 interpreter. Note: On Linux you must also install PHP locally to run your PHP apps.

To use PHP 7.2 in the Flexible Enrironment:

By default, the PHP runtime uses PHP 7.2, but you should explicitly declare your PHP version in the composer.json file to prevent your application from being automatically upgraded when a new version of PHP becomes available. The PHP versions 5.6., 7.0., and 7.1.* are also supported.

So you include this in the composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "php": "7.2.*"
    }
}

So if you're using Flexible Enrironment, set the PHP version following the above indications.

There is a Community Tutorial on how to run Laravel on Google App Engine Flexible Environment.
