Most consumer wifi routers I’ve used have a setting to prevent peer-to-peer traffic. Whether this still counts as being on the same subnet is kind of a philosophical question.

An IP subnet is just a block of addresses anyway. Any two addresses both are and are not in the same block, depending on how big of a block you choose.

Only if you don’t consider the subnet mask as part of the IP address configuration.
