Yes but there is not a proton compatibility layer, so games can't run. Also, Apple pushes their own API Metal over Vulkan and doesn't support Vulkan. Because Apple. A third party team has to make MoltenVK to translate Vulkan to Metal.

Gotcha. Apple being a pain in the ass again.

Pretty much. They also enforce usage of the Metal API on iOS, AFAIK. No idea why they don't just adopt Vulkan across the board. It would make game development so much easier.
