Sandbox template

Hi, I have a question concerning the refresh of a Partial copy Sandbox using a Sandbox template. 

The Contact object is not checked in the Sandbox template. 

Does this mean that when I refresh the Sandbox using this template, neither the metadata nor the data for the Contact object will be refreshed ? 

Or will the metadata for the Contact object be refreshed anyway, but not the data ? 

I read the article down-below, but I am not sure it fully answers my question as I don't find it specific enough : 

When you create a sandbox template, you select the object data (standard and custom) to copy during the creation or refresh of a sandbox

Thank you in advance !
