Not necessarily. Publication is not required for a work to be eligible for copyright protection. An author, or publisher for that matter, can register a copyright to protect a work and subsequently publish it at a later date.

The copyright page includes the same, plus a detailed copyright notification, the catalog-in-publication data from the national library of the country in which it was published, notes on the printing or edition, and other legal boilerplate.

No they perform different functions. A watermark is designed to identify a photo as a particular artists work or to make illegal duplication difficult. A copyright notice consists of three elements... 1. the © symbol (in some cases (c) is substituted), the word "Copyright" or abbreviation "Copr."; 2. the first year of publication; and 3. the owner of the copyright, either by name, abbreviation, or other designation. A copyright notice is designed to identify the rights holder, date of creation, and the fact that it is copyright protected
