Is the download mode of the phone a part of the Android OS?

Hi. I'm relatively new to this and I want to learn more. So now I'm installing a firmware on my Galaxy S4 (it's currently installing) and I think my phone has custom download mode. So after installing the firmware of the phone will I get the default factory download mode (I'm installing factory firmware)?
