No it doesn’t. Who told you that? Ozone generators are a completely different thing and air ionizers must conform to low ozone emission standards.

Yes, it does.

They are, but ionizing air cleaners still generate ozone even though they are different than “ozone generators”. [0, again]

No, only the small minority that claim health benefits in a manner which brings them under FDA medical device regulatory authority do. [0, again.] But even those so regulated in ozone emissions are net ozone generators.
