BTW, if you do an "ip -6 add show eno1" do the numbers a358:d643 appear in the output?
-bash.1[~]: ip -6 add show eno1 2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000

So the answer is yes.

But most people don't realize that their ISP modem is also a
router. I don't think my modem is also a router, but I'm not sure. It's an Arris model TM822G, self-purchased (not rented from the ISP).
What kind of IPv4-address do you get? The public IP or an RFC1918 (192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z or 172.16.x.y): if it is the public IP the modem likely does not do the firewall as it does not do NAT. A quick check of the Arris manual seems to suggest that it does not have a firewall and it seems to handout ISP addresses directly.
We've already confirmed, earlier in the thread, that it's on a public IP.
