Yes, but again, irrelevant to this thread.

Except of course, when the boundary is disputed, then there might be

OK, I understand what you're trying to highlight, but don't see it
as relevant to this thread.
But anyway, the "boundary between two countries" can be
distinguished as they'll have two relations with boundary data
whereas "the high seas" boundary will only have one.

Unsure what you mean. Could you elaborate, Example?
Sure:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/96104334
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/96104334>
is an outer maritime boundary at 12 mile distance from the
baseline
separating the territorial waters from the high seas.
OTOH
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/54749533
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/54749533>
is a maritime boundary between two countries.
You might say this difference is not of practical importance
for data
users but there are for example many maps which generally do
not show
the first type of boundary but which do show (at least partly) the
second type of boundary. Like this:

<http://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/maps/cia16/denmark_sm_2016.gif>
You can of course determine this difference from the spatial
relationship of the boundary relations.
