To answer your question, yes those in your image are as freeze proof as possible. The actual valve is at the other end of the pipe from the handle. it is designed to self drain from that valve so there isn't any water from "inside" the wall/house to freeze.

Are they needed here? Probably not. Like villagetinker, I also have faucet covers that I use. Faucet Cover
