For more details of the changes described in Policy release notes, please
read the actual Policy.

(The answer is yes.)

It doesn't, except perhaps for native packages. The Source is where the
upstream software is released (either where you can download tarball
releases, or a VCS repository). The Vcs-* is where the Debian packaging
is maintained.

For a real-world example, compare these repositories for ostree:

Source: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/
Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ostree.git
