There’s a lot of noise and disinformation floating out there, here’s the simplest explanation:
The Switch 2 will launch with three different types of physical cartridges denoted by serial numbers to describe their purpose:
LB - The cartridge will work on Nintendo Switch 2 consoles only.
LP - Game Key cartridges in which a digital download is required
LN - The cartridge will work on both Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.
That is one of the options, that apparently a lot of the 3rd party devs are using. So far, all 1st party Nintendo titles are announced to include the game on the cartridge (not just a key)

This information has been available since the console was announced, why are you waiting until after launch to ask questions?
Yes to both questions.
If you didn’t know, there are still physical cartridges, but these do not have the game, but only a „key” which you can download the game with.
