Are the permissions in AndroidManifest.xml all permissions the app might ask for?

Or in other words:

So in the original versions of Android, permissions in AndroidManifest were automatically granted. If they installed it, the app had those permissions.

In more modern versions (5.0 or 6.0), the manifest is the superset of all permissions it may ask for. Some (like internet) are automatic. Others require requesting at runtime. An app may not request a permission it doesn't declare in its manifest.
