Is the launcher on Nexus Devices (Marshmallow & Nougat) the same as GPlay Services?

With all this talk about the leaked Nougat Nexus-Only launcher.apk doing the rounds, I was wondering what the CURRENT situation is with Nexus devices on both marshmallow & Nougat (i'm mainly interested in the 5 & 5X)?

Am I right in thinking that Google Play Services replaces the AOSP launcher with the Google Now Launcher? If so, do the 5 & 5X currently use this Google Now Launcher, or a further different/unique one? And is this the case for Marshmallow & Nougat right now?

Also, even on Google-Play-Service-ified android phone (like the Nexus phones), is the stock AOSP launcher still on the device (Say if I were to disable the Google Now Launcher)? Or is it physically not present?
