^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In other words you cannot send beacons or other frames on this
channel.

Yes.
Once you start a mesh, it will create the mesh and start beaconing
immediately, so the regulatory domain of your device and/or CRDA may prevent
you from doing this.
In managed mode, the device is not beaconing so it doesn't have this
limitation, although it will not be able to send probe requests.
