Yes.

Yes, it is.

Well, that's the implication of the current description worded with
a longer sentence ;-)  If it doesn't return TRUE then it returns FALSE
for the negated condition mentioned for TRUE.

Note that also for AND and OR we don't describe the negated condition
that returns FALSE.

As these description are for the Function Wizard we need to be a bit
concise regarding string length and available space in the dialog and
try to use short descriptions. Some translations of long strings may get
even longer in their native language, so from the English string we
can't be sure that it really would fit.
