Is the account always locked?
If yes what is the difference to create a user without any password and
assigning '/usr/sbin/nologin' as shell?

What happens to the account without staging if installed from a package?
Without pkg-install script the account keeps unmodified or even is not created ...

In case you use a pkg-install script, then it will be executed only during installation
and stage is one step before.
