Is the Volume Visualization geometry node just for making adjustments for how a volume is represented in the viewport? It would not affect the render, is that correct?

Yes, that's correct. The Volume Visualization geometry node primarily affects how a volume is represented in the viewport for better visualization and editing. It doesn't impact the final render of the scene, which relies on other rendering settings and parameters. This feature is useful for adjusting the appearance and clarity of volumes during the editing process without altering the final output.

The first thing on the help page states that the node changes how volumes are displayed in the viewport.

Yes I noticed that, but it doesn't state that is does NOT affect the render, which is important to be explicit about, obviously, hence my forum enquiry. Hope that helps.
