Yes. Closing your account will lead to it being disabled - you can no longer access it, but your edits are still visible. If you are in the EEA, you can also request for your account to be forgotten, which means your personal information will be purged as well and I think your edits will be anonymized. Not sure on the last one. Your work is never deleted as that would create holes in the page history.
