Not always, and the exhaust doesn't have to be hot. the excess fuel (now sitting in the exhaust due to the spark cut) which provides the pops is primarily ignited by flames coming past the valves.

Proper rev limiters cut the fuel or retard the timing. cutting the fuel is hard cut and retarding is soft cut.

I made a soft cut for my 1.5D once, hilarious.

Either way I would rather have anti lag.
Yes, you are noob. anti lag is for turbo charged cars not spaxos.

If you have an electronic TB, you could set it up to hold revs lower through the ECU. but I don't think it would be as effective.
