No, they do not.
If you purge a volume, all the jobs on it and their associated metadata
are deleted, and the volume is marked as purged/reusable, but the volume
is not deleted and is available for reuse. If you delete a volume, the
entire volume is gone from the database, along with all jobs that were
on it and their metadata.
If you delete a job, naturally all of its associated database records
are purged, which may cause a volume to become completely purged.
