Actually, the answer to your last question may *not* be "NO". It appears to have been common practice in years past to include reference to the holdings-in-fief of the formerly-landed court baron/ess in selecting the style and form of the baronial coronet on the crest.
Or at least so I seem to recall from the work of more than one scribe... cf. the achievement of the departed & lamented HE Gwendolyn of the Copper Beeches, perhaps?
As to the primary question, baronial status .usuallyEQ. baronial status = Grant, while a barony-in-fief = nobility (but, even being a temporary condition, still yields baronial coronet for achievement IMNSHO).
