No. In my experience:

No. Like Ray_Harwood said, you can hosts can only read their own private messages and public messages.

What about if the meeting is hosted on a private server? Isn’t it possible for the server owner ergo the meeting host to see a record of the private messages?

Sure, if the host has data separately stored and it’s not secured, someone else can get to it. But I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about.
There’s no “private Zoom server.” Even if you have an On-Premise Deployment at your location, it behaves according to Zoom rules – user and meeting metadata are still managed in the Zoom public cloud.
