I've noticed the Airbus jets automatically pushes the nose down when the angle of attack is high and makes the plane leveled in a bank angle. Is this actually how Airbus jets recover themselves from a steep climb and bank angle turns in reality?

Take a look at flight „XL Airways Germany Flight 888T“. There, the pilots tested exactly what you did here. They weren’t as lucky as the systems (that are implemented in aerofly) failed.

- Official Post
The Airbus A320 family, A350, A380 etc. have fly by wire with flight envelope protections:
- Stall protection (reducing angle of attack and adding full thrust)
- Pitch protection (between +30 and -15 degrees), reducing to lower pitch at low speeds
- Bank protection (67deg, reducing to 45deg at slow speeds)
- G-load protection (+2.5g to -1.0g in clean config) and also load alleviation by raising ailerons to reduce wing bending (*)
- Over speed protection (pitches up when too fast)
(*) On the A320 family only the sharklet versions have the load alleviation.

Yes, they have a flyby wire system, even if you’re in a nose dive of any sore or in any kind of bank angle it’ll recover itself automatically. If you do it with the A380 in aerofly the fly by a wire envelope protection will activate itself.
