I cannot answer this for Ubuntu, but on Fedora installation of dnsmasq does not disable anything. I think systemd-resolved it the default and is enabled on default. Whereas dnsmasq is just a service, which has to be enabled manually. Then systemd-resolved has to be disabled manually. Then /etc/resolv.conf has to be modified to point to local dnsmasq. It can be configured by Network Manager also by dns=dnsmasq in NetworkManager.conf.
dnsmasq can run on the same system with systemd-resolved, if bind-interfaces or bind-dynamic and interface is specified. But they don't interact between themselves without manual configuration.
