Yes, he did.

No! Or rather, not necessarily. This depends entirely on the approach
of the plugin designer. If the plugin has a control port corresponding
to "room size" (e.g. Freeverb), then your claim above is false. If the
author, on the other hand, uses, lets say, 3 control ports whose
aggregate effect is to control "room size", but then has a GUI which
has a single control for "room size", then yes, you're right. But I
think that this kind of design would be considered poor. The controls
in the GUI should map more or less exactly to the actual control ports
of the plugin.
