An interstellar cloud made of gas, dust, and plasma in a galaxy.
it was born from the interstellar cloud
These are generically referred to as, not surprisingly; 'interstellar clouds'
An interstellar cloud is a vast region in space that contains gas and dust particles. These clouds can vary in size and density, and serve as the birthplace for new stars. They are also important in the formation and evolution of planetary systems.
The gravitational potential energy of a contracting interstellar cloud increases as the cloud collapses inward due to gravity. This potential energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy and thermal energy, as the cloud contracts and heats up, eventually leading to the formation of a star.
Petrodollar clouds form when a interstellar clouds begins to shirk. The clouds goes from interstellar clouds to petrodollar clouds.

An interstellar cloud.
As an interstellar gas cloud shrinks in size, it's gravitational potential energy gradually transforms into other forms of energy.
With all due respect, an interstellar cloud is, by its definition, gas, plasma and/or dust (molecular particulates) in greater quantities than normally found in interstellar space. So, perhaps the answer is No, because there are other elements present.
