The NATO treaty’s key provision is Article 5, which began: “The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all…” While this commitment to collective defense lay at the heart of NATO, it was left to the judgment of each member state to decide how exactly it would contribute.

So, yes, it does apply to all members. Those who agree it to be an attack are fully within the rights of the article to abide. It is also agreeable that those who do not agree it to be an attack on said ally not act. It's entirely subjective that way.

HINT: Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey most definitely would not.

edit:

"Allies can provide any form of assistance they deem necessary to respond to a situation. "

It's subjective.
