Not exactly. It finds where the next note is to be inserted. This may
not be in front of the log-note list even if it exists (e.g., if
`org-log-states-order-reversed' is nil you may end up in front of the
following paragraph).

Not necessarily. It actually doesn't look for such a list. It could end
up after the list (see above) or even in a different location (see
below).

Also, it doesn't tell if there is a list at all, so if you rely on it,
you need to double-check if you really are close to a log-note.

Unfortunately, recognizing a log note is impossible, since it is
a regular plain list. Contents change, and templates are customizables
(see `org-log-note-headings'). See, for example, the hack in
`org-skip-over-state-notes'.

Because in this case, the list is not necessarily re-used. The first
note is inserted after planning info and properties drawer. If, later,
you insert some text before it, logging process will create a new list
above, and so on. E.g.,

Step 1:

  * Headline
    - Note 1

Step 2:

  * Headline
    Some text
    - Note 1

Step 3:

  * Headline
    - Note 2
    Some text
    - Note 1
