This is a bad assumption. Your receiver might be programmed to do something very odd such as change the PWM output when out of range. Please see your radio's manual and try the CLI test called PWM. It will show you the raw PWM output of your receiver. When you turn off the radio you should see no change. If you want to enable failsafe conditions, please read the manual and try it on the ground with the props off for safety.
Failsafe is one of the first thing people want to try and it should be the last step in setting up a flight system. It's the most complex!!!

It all depends on your radio system !
FrSky fail safe reverts to whatever you want, so on my plane it reverts to "Auto" and completes the mission.
I believe some JR SPCM radios can do the same.
