Earth definitely does. Possibly Venus and Mars have (or have had) a rock cycle of some sort, too. However, Venus and Mars lack liquid water and tectonic plates, which are important in Earth's rock cycle.
On Earth, the rock types involved in the cycle are igneous (of volcanic origin), sedimentary and metamorphic.
