yes/no - not all terminals recognize the two glued together.
The strings that set foreground and background colors are separate for
that reason.  Just to save on bug reports, I cited the more general form.

It's also possible to have a non-ANSI terminal that would do the equivalent,
since all that's going on is that the application states a preference for
using 'op' to return to default colors.

yes: that says that it takes (for setab) parameter-1, pushes it onto a stack
and immediately returns it in decimal form, e.g.,
        0 -> \E[40m
        1 -> \E[41m

(the "\E" is transmitted as the escape character, 27 or "\033").
