Is it right we think whenever AWS gets a snapshot, it just copies the the storage layer of RDS?

Based on the docs provided on the AWS site, is it right to think whenever AWS gets a snapshot from our RDS, it just copies the storage layer of our RDS? Because here, Postgresql said for getting a backup from the data of your database, It doesn't suggest getting a copy from the storage path your database stores its data. And for something Postgresql said on its site, we don't know getting a snapshot from our RDS is the right work or not?

The other thing that we aren't sure about is that the data in the snapshot is exactly like the data we have in our RDS when we get a snapshot from the RDS. Is that right we think both exactly have the same data?

We appreciate any comment to illuminate our question.

Yes. This is just an EBS snapshot which is adjusted to work with RDS.

Yes. That's the entire point of snapshot - full backup.
