How can I differ from add or update from the afterSave function?

I am not sure if I understood your question right, but I am using following to check if object is new:

Parse.Cloud.afterSave("Msg", async ({object, log}) => {   
    if (object.existed()) {
        //your code for e new object 
    } else {

    }
    return;   
});

Is this what have you been looking for? There are also some details in this thread
