does cloudflare images custom domain setup increase latency of served images?

Not an answer, but in my experience, not any noticeable amount, especially when the images already live in cache.
I did tests months ago, but I determined that it was about 7ms between cf domain, and my domain, and it was 140-190ms faster than pulling the images from an on-prem origin running an nginx config optimized for image delivery. But I also had some other variables in the mix.
I would recommend setting up the custom domain and testing against that and the image delivery domain to be sure for your use case, of course.
probably would be faster with custom domain as it can cache the images
