Does preload video actually only download a portion of the video?

Hi. I am just trying to clarify how this works. When setting the preload size for example to 2mb. When I preload 3 videos, will this package only load the preload size set (2mb in this example) for each upcoming video and as the video plays it, then loads the rest of that video? TYIA

Yes

Is the player able to play with that preloaded part or will it start only after downloading the whole file? Suppose, 4 MB is the file size and 2MB is preloaded, will the playback start only after the remaining 2MB is downloaded?
