Yes, when you google profile is shut down.... It is completely isolated. You could install an application that is 100℅ malware and it would be completely closed down the moment you lock down that profile.
If you need what's app, I would either check your side profile a few times a day for messages OR you can stick What's App on the Private Space area of your FOSS profile so that it's Super easy to check. Private space works the same way in that when it's shut down..... The apps are 100℅ turned off including Play Services.
