This exactly, as long as your phone has at least one frequency band of the provider, then it will at least connect to their network and allow you to access data. Calling seems to be a whole different thing, though, because it requires something with IMS.

In the implementation in Australia, you actually will lose data access too if you’re blocked (wifi still works of course). That strikes me as kind of dumb, but I guess they don’t want to give the impression that it’s supported at all, since the whole thing is about emergency calling access.
It’s not just the bands. You could have all of the needed bands and still be blocked (and you could me missing one and just get a warning).
