Yes, it is. It's documented that way somewhere, in fact.

No, as I understand it, they use different criteria. MAPS is more a
"these are proven, documented spammers" while ORBS blocks open relays,
and so is proactive. I use both (just as above), and there are sites
that MAPS catches that ORBS don't and vice versa. If you're using
ORBS, you may want to keep an eye on your logs. There are many work
related sites that I have to let through the ORBS block, so others may
be in there that are important to you.
