The outdoor tap itself works the same way, but on a well the pressure tank and the pump control sit in the loop, so a frozen outdoor branch can cause the pump to short cycle. That is hard on the pump. Isolating outdoor lines before the cold sets in avoids the whole chain.

The homeowner generally owns the service line from the curb stop to the house, and the water utility owns what sits on the street side of that valve. That split is why a leak in the yard is usually the property owner's problem while the same leak under the pavement is not. If you're not sure where your curb stop sits, a plumber can locate it before any digging happens.

Anything attached to the tap keeps the barrel from draining, and that includes splitters, timers and quick-connect fittings. They hold a small volume of water right at the point that freezes hardest. Taking them off in autumn is the whole preventative measure.

An empty house is where outdoor and unheated runs cause the worst damage, because nobody is there when it lets go. Shutting the main and draining down the system is the usual approach. If the property is heated but unoccupied, keeping outdoor branches isolated still matters.
