On the Control Panel option for turning on fast startup, it says:
Restart isn't affected.
Does this mean that a restart is always a "fast startup" or that it is NOT one?

Restart shuts everything down and then restarts the computer. With fast startup, when you select Shut Down, your applications are shut down and then the Windows processes are hibernated. On start up the Windows processes are resumed.

The full line is:
This helps start your PC faster after shutdown. Restart isn't affected.
The first sentence is telling you the option affects the system after being powered on from a shutdown. A restart is not a system shutdown, it's a reboot.
So, as it says, the option will not affect Restarts.
