Yes, but the difference is that verifiability is a policy requirement, whereas notability is not (although notability is often used as a reason for delete votes in Afd)

We require not only verifiability, but notability. I can create something today and document it today, but - save in rare circumstances - I cannot prove its importance today.
If something is referenced by a third-party reliable source today, chances are it's important.
I'd strongly dispute that. Because of the ease and speed of record-keeping and publishing, it's very easy to get third-party information on something.
For example, I could create thousands of stub articles on small private schools in Michigan. But I'd describe them as extremely non-notable: every last one of them has students from only a single family, often only a single student, and exists as a "private school" with significant government records only because of a quirk in the Michigan homeschooling law.
