No, they don't provide alignment but they provide a way to write code once whatever the size of the implementation's vector registers.

As for block copy instruction AFAIK there's no such things in RISC-V for example.

So, no, they don't have anything like an arbitrary block copy that adjusts for alignment. Not surprising; nobody does. So we struggle in software, and have libraries with 11 bugs etc.
