The Contacts are synched in iCloud but you won't see a Contacts app. Yet you can restore them by following the above instructions. They will be restored across all your devices. I'm attaching a few screen shots. Once you get to this last screen below, you select the backup and click Restore. There are several backups, listed by date; You'll need to select the one that you know contains your missing data.
