If you use WireGuard for local access, I don’t think you need to open any port on your firewall, unless you are sharing your plex with other people that do not have access via WireGuard. But I know just enough to get me in trouble, so I’m sure I’ll be corrected on this.
No, you are correct. If you are the only person accessing the service you don't need to open any ports since you access your network via Wireguard anyway.
90% sure wireguard (the VPN server) is going to need an open port if you want to connect from the outside.
This is correct. But the port wont reply to anything but a valid client, so it should not be too apparent to a would-be attacker that you have a port open at all.
