Yes.
No, but it can use he hardware encoder if you select one of the VideoToolbox encoders.

I don't understand the use of "but" here, since the VideoToolbox encoders are not in any circumstance using the GPU on a M1 Mac.

Maybe you're just being pedantic?

The hardware video encoding acceleration is on the same SOC as the CPU and everything else; the "but" in a question about GPU usage seemed misleading.
