AWS::CloudHSM::Cluster is not a valid resource type. Unfortunately, Cloudformation does not support all services or may have an incomplete set of supported resources.

Here is a list of valid services and resource types currently supported by CloudFormation:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-template-resource-type-ref.html

The Cloudformation team is pushing out support for new resources very frequently. You can monitor this page to see when they push out support for new features: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/ReleaseHistory.html
