Not all.Angels are Created Spirits.
The word "angel" simply means 'messenger, ambassador (coming on behalf of someone else), that which carries a message (from or for another)'. The word (in English, Hebrew (mal'ak) or koine Greek (aggelos)) carries no inherent definition of nature (created or uncreated). it only carries the meaning of messenger, as an office, a position, not a nature.
Malachi 3:1, among other texts, demonstrates that the Son of God, is called "angel" by the Holy Ghost Himself through Malachi.
Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal 3:1 הנני שׁלח מלאכי ופנה־דרך לפני ופתאם יבוא אל־היכלו האדון אשׁר־אתם מבקשׁים ומלאך הברית אשׁר־אתם חפצים הנה־בא אמר יהוה צבאות׃
Mal 3:1 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου, καὶ ἐπιβλέψεται ὁδὸν πρὸ προσώπου μου, καὶ ἐξαίφνης ἥξει εἰς τὸν ναὸν ἑαυτοῦ κύριος, ὃν ὑμεῖς ζητεῖτε, καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος τῆς διαθήκης, ὃν ὑμεῖς θέλετε· ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται, λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
The passage you are referring to is found in:
Psa_104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Heb_1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Yet the context, speaks to the created messengers (as Gabriel), not to the one who created them, the uncreated Messenger (the Son of the Father, see Colossians 1:16 in that the one "who maketh his angels" is the Son, the uncreated and eternal Angel of the Father, who created on behalf of the Father's will/command). Therefore, there are created 'angels' (messengers, as Gabriel), and uncreated and eternal 'Angels' (Messengers, as The Son of the Father (Revelation 10:1), and the Holy Ghost (Revelation 18:1). Yet, in Hebrews 1:1-3, we see that the Son is the highest messenger for, or on behalf of, the Father. We see that the Son (uncreated and eternal), as a messenger, is identified with the other messengers (created, as Gabriel), when Hebrews 1:9 states that the Son was anointed "above" His "fellows" (context? Hebrews 1:7,14, the other 'angels' (the created messengers, heavenly as Gabriel and human, as Malachi (whose name means 'angel' or messenger')).
The Father has two eternal and uncreated covering messengers (the Son and the Holy Ghost).
The Son has two covering messengers (Gabriel and 'Herald').
The Holy Ghost has two covering messengers (holy angelic hosts and sanctified humanity, or even the Law and the Testimony in a spiritual sense).
