**Nearly** always true. If the original programmer really wanted to confuse you, the Def*Type* statements can change the defaults module-by-module and by the initial letter of the variable name. VB6 manual http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa263421(VS.60).aspx

A:
It depends.
Usually these end up being Variants but you can use DefXxx statements to alter default data types based on first letter of a variable name which is kind of weird legacy feature.
We use DefObj A-Z in all our modules immediately after Option Explicit so that typeless vars, params and retvals (not allowed here by coding conventions) end up being As Object and usually generate compile-time errors or crash in flames at run-time.
So in your case these would be Nothing (uninitialized As Object var) if this declaration happen to be one of our modules.
