Does an America the Beautiful pass cover Haleakalā?

Direct answer

Yes. The pass covers the entrance fee and does not cover reservations, timed entry, or permits.

Coverage, kept separate

Accepted: Yes
Entrance fee: Covered
Reservations and permits: Not covered

CRITICAL: neither an America the Beautiful pass nor a fee-free day gets you into the summit for sunrise. The $1 sunrise reservation is required on top of, and independently of, any pass or fee waiver.
