Yes, in the sense that if he is released after opening day he'll get his pay for the full season. But note that if he's released during spring training or the off-season, he only gets 30 or 45 days' pay, depending on the timing of the release. That's a lot less than the full year's salary.

Not for players still under the reserve clause; that's why the termination pay provisions are specified in the CBA. Unless they have specifically signed a guaranteed contract, of course.
