In Windows, I'm pretty sure it is the other way round.

No.  In Windows version <= 7, both completely shut down the PC, and
restart then restarts it.  But in versions >= 8, restart completely
shuts down the PC before restarting it, but by default shutdown only
hibernates it:

 So if you want to actually shut it down you need to restart it and
switch it off at the wall socket  before it actually restarts?

It depends on why you need to shut it down.  For imaging, yes, that would be one way of doing it, but I'd simply disable the setting instead.
