Almost always, though on very old properties the inside valve can be missing, painted over or plumbed in a spot nobody would guess. Finding it and confirming it actually closes is worth doing on a quiet afternoon rather than during a leak. If there really isn't one, adding a proper main valve is a straightforward job for a plumber.

It matters when something goes wrong, because a box nobody can find costs time exactly when time is expensive. Marking it while the ground is workable is a small job. Digging it out and clearing the lid is a reasonable thing to ask a plumber to handle on a routine visit.

Age matters less than what happens when you turn it, but multi-decade gate valves on original service piping are the ones that fail most. If it will not close, will not reopen or drips afterwards, its working life is over. A quarter-turn replacement is a small job compared with the leak it prevents.

It depends on the policy, the cause and how the damage happened, so the honest answer is that only your insurer can tell you. Sudden failures and slow long-running leaks are often treated very differently. Contact your insurance provider before assuming either way, and keep the plumber's paperwork and any photos.
