Standard vs Custom

Frappe Framework

Need to confirm my understanding -
If we tick “Is Standard” (=1 or True) on WebForms/Reports then the backend code/files are created
while
If we untick “Custom” (=0 or False) on DocTypes then the backend code/files are created
Am I right?
If yes, then would it help the developer experience (DX) if both were the same?

>For WebForms/Reports, setting “Is Standard” = 1 means the configuration will be treated as part of the app and exported as code files (JSON), enabling version control.

For DocTypes, the “Custom” flag does not directly control file creation. Instead:
Custom = 0 indicates a standard (code-based) DocType that is expected to exist in the app files.
Custom = 1 indicates a DocType created via the UI and stored in the database
