yes.

yes but the vlan might just be getting trunked through the switch to another
that has access ports in that vlan.
switch1--core switch--switch2--switch3
switches 1,2 and 3 might be assigned different vlans so vlan 3 (for switch3)
needs to be trunked through switch2. For switch3 hosts to talk to switch1
hosts they use their default gateway which are vlan interfaces on the core
switch. This example isn't necessarilly a good design I'm just showing how
vlan interfaces are layer-2 adajacent to hosts uysing them but not
necessarilly on their directly attached switch.
