In this case, yes..
Other bugs can be only appearing on backports.
And no, it is not identical. If it was there was no need for a backport. It's a rebuild
(with changed dependencies and any adaptions needed) to work in stable.
(And it's from testing, not unstable.)

Yes, the testing version. Not *-backports. And that only on the next release.
-backports is not a staging ground for updates in "real" stable. It's separate.

No, there isn't a freeze yet in testing. That only starts in some time. If there was,
5.2.2 would not have migrated there in the first place and thus there wouldn't be a backport
of 5.2.2 anyways.

No, since you didn't answer any question here. E.g. the question in the cited
part above.
