Does it come turned off by default?

DNS-over-HTTPS in Firefox? Yes, it does, at the moment. See https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/dd7e27f4a805e4115d... -- 0 means it's off.

Yes, the difference is that 0 is the default value right now, so if you set it in about:config all Gecko remembers is "it's the default" and stores nothing in user.js; if the default then changes the value changes.

5 is not the default, so if you set it it will get stored in user.js and then even if the default changes the value will remain 5.
