Yes, you are wrong.  Yes, vi disables this mode.

In fact control-M and control-J are both cursor motion commands in vi,
and do different things.  Control-J aka Linefeed move the cursor straight
down (if possible), just like j, control-N and down-arrow.
Control-M aka Return moves the cursor to the first non-whitespace character
on the next line (if there is one), just like + and 2_.

You might try things out before you post.
