No. When a service is disabled it can still be started after boot, but when
it's masked, it can't be started at all.
Exactly.
Think of "systemctl disable <service>" and "systemctl mask
<service>"
as being similar to "blacklist <module>" and "install <module>
/bin/true" respectively in "/etc/modprobe.conf.d/<module>.conf".
