what happens when there's only one build type (release) in build.gradle

my app's build.gradle has only the release build type inside the buildTypes section:

buildTypes {
    release {
        shrinkResources true
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

Does this mean i don't have a debug buildtype ? or is debug implied someway ?

No.

When a new module is created, Android Studio automatically creates the debug and release build types. Adding it to the build.gradle is necessary if you want to want to add or change certain settings.

Based on the documentation:

The debug build type doesn't appear in the build configuration file, Android Studio configures it with debuggable true. This allows you to debug the app on secure Android devices and configures APK signing with a generic debug keystore.

You can add the debug build type to your configuration if you want to add or change certain settings.
