Yes.

Seems you should concentrate on understanding the broader point before
confusing yourself by asking about the finer point.
Jack Holm and I co-authored this paper for the ICC, I think you should download
it and read it, slowly, perhaps several times:
http://www.color.org/ICC_white_paper_20_Digital_photography_color_management_basics.pdf
Here’s just a sentence of the article I think you should read, slowly, perhaps
several times:
“When you set your digital camera controls to capture an image (which is
initially a RAW data file) into a color space (let's use sRGB in this example),
there are two fundamental parts to this process: rendering the data and then
encoding the data. In creating an output-referred image, the camera or computer
system has to perform the color rendering processing before it can encode the
result of the processing into sRGB“.
It seems your understanding of the two fundamental parts of the process,
rendering raw data into an encoding color space is limited and you’re confused
by this fact.

We? Here’s my suggestion specifically for you:
1. Instead of jumping around on differing subjects you don’t appear to
understand, stick to one and learn the broader points.
2. Consider buying a book on color management and reading it, slowly and
several times. I believe this is a good one for you to start with:
https://www.amazon.com/Color-Management-Digital-Photographers-Dummies/dp/0470048921
<https://www.amazon.com/Color-Management-Digital-Photographers-Dummies/dp/0470048921>
If “we“ placed your misunderstood diatribes on this thread revolving around
fundamentals of color management, I think this book will be a good start for
you.
