Some do, some don't. If you click somewhere in the nebula on the system map you will get a description of it's properties on the right hand side where you normally see the planet window.

If you see:

•This system is opaque to most scanners

That means it offers some level of cloaking. Different nebula offer different levels of cloaking. Some can be defeated with sensors, some cannot. There is no way to tell from within the game what level scanning is required to defeat the nebula cloaking. You can tell by looking at the data files, but that is only for sure if you are playing a stock game. It has to do with the color of the nebula. I can't remember the color code off hand. But some mods have made it so you can't rely on the color code.

You can mine a nebula even if you can't see in it and their ships will not be able to get past without hitting the mines.

Also, some nebula also have other properties, like making combat sensors inefective, and maybe shields. These only have effect during combat though.
