yes, those are two different things.

The gpsd.socket service actually starts gpsd.service as soon as there is
a connection to the socket systemd opens for you.

running
 ss -tlp | grep gpsd
should show you if there is something listening on a port - and on which
IPs.

If systemd is listening on the configured IPs for you, then you'll see
an open port there. If not, you did not restart the appropriate service,
or you forgot a systemctl daemon-reload

In general:
1. systemctl edit gpsd.socket (that creates a new file for you where you
can override/add things)
2. systemctl daemon-reload
3. systemctl restart gpsd.socket

If you want to pass different options to gpsd, do the same for gpsd.service.
