Yes, but you will see if someone has RCS before you send the message
since using the phone number of the recipient the device can check, if
the recipient is connected to the RCS network services.

Might the recipient have seen the message in a notification on the
 home screen, but not opened the messages app to read it? I don't
 know - I don't use RCS.

It's the same as with any other app in Android. You get a notification
when a message arrives and how it is displayed depends on your privacy
settings.

In my case I configured my Smartphone so, that I just see that there is
a notification from a specific app, but no content. I have to unlock the
device first to be able to see the notification including text.

Also messages don't count as "read" as long as you do not open them in
the respective app. Just looking at the notification is not enough, even
when the notification also contains some (or all) of the text in the
message.
