No it fills with a thin layer of water between your skin and the rubber.The body warms this thin layer and then keeps you warmer by insulating you from the cold water.

A survival or dry suit has elasticated neck,arms and leg bands which do keep you dry.

Not usually, but if the water is cold it will help you stay warm.
