Correct.

Yes it is, but an explicit area=yes adds the information that the whole
area is the barrier.

If area=yes is added to say a leisure area surrounded by a hedge, that is a
mapping mistake. If that results in the area displaying as a hedge area,
the mapper has to correct that, not the renderer.
