Yes.
No, a mug is not a bad insulator. Most mugs are made from materials like ceramic or glass, which are good at retaining heat. However, the effectiveness of a mug as an insulator may vary depending on the material and thickness of the mug.
In a thermos, the reflective surface on the inner side of the vacuum chamber reflects back the radiant heat, reducing heat transfer between the hot or cold content and the environment. The vacuum between the inner and outer layers acts as an insulator by preventing heat transfer through conduction and convection. The bottom insulator helps to further minimize heat transfer by providing an additional barrier against heat loss or gain through contact with external surfaces.
There are many ways this is done. It can be done by having a double walled thermos with either air, an insulator, or a vacuum between. A vacuum will prevent all conduction except where the two walls touch but requires stronger materials.
A plastic stopper in a thermos bottle helps to control heat transfer by minimizing conduction through the opening, where heat can escape or enter. The plastic acts as an insulator, reducing heat loss or gain from the contents inside the thermos. This helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid for a longer period.
A thermos works with principle of Physics that vacuum is a pure insulator of heat. Thermos is made of two containers separated by a vacuum space which acts as an insulator of heat. Also the surface of thermos will be glassy which in turn helps in reduction of heat loss.
you tell me if you fill a thermos with hot soup or hot chocolate put the lid on and then touch it is it hot or cold. odds are it is warm so it is hard to say. but the thermos is an insulator

an electrical insulator blocks the flow of electricity (like the rubber around power cords that stop you from getting electrecuted) and a heat insulator block the flow of heat (like a thermos)
Traditionally, Thermos bottles used borosilicate glass for the vacuum insulator, with a plastic or metal envelope. Modern Thermoses are typically made entirely of steel.

a themos is made in many parts. A first coat a insulator then the inside coat is filled with a substance called foam tissue a material that finds the mold of its insulator
Either a vacuum (thermos bottle) or air that can't move ... which is just what foam insulation is (tiny bubbles).

Thermos bottles are generally used to keep liquid from changing temperature for a longer period of time. Usually, one pours hot liquid into the bottle, and it will remain warm for longer, but they are also effective at keeping cold liquid cool.
