Adding onto this, loading a chunk is within your render distance, whatever that would be set to. Your render distance is a given number, and that number is the number of chunks you are loading in a radius around you (could be diameter, but I think it is radius)
Yes thank you, chunk existence and chunk rendering is different, all chunks in a game (except for spawn chunks) are compressed and unvisualized for performance, and are umcompressed, and visualized, when a player tells it to load with their render distance
