Does cyclone V has a processor in it?

You can view the device family options for the CycloneV series here ...

The part on that DE0-CV board is a low end CycloneV family device and it does NOT have an embedded hard processor subsystem (HPS).

The part is just logic cells.

That being said, you can always implement a soft processor (ie, compiled logic) given that you have enough resources on the chip.

To get s similar CycloneV board that includes a HPS subsystem in the FPGA you would look at something like the DE10-NANO:
