clarification on SNAT and automap

Hi All,     I thought I understood SNAT very well but now I am really confused about SNAT and automap. I wish SNAT is called client NAT and Server NAT depending on which address gets NATed....

Maybe related question, maybe not:

 

 

"Second, you can either use SNAT Automap, which will use a floating selfIP address as the src address for SNAT'ed connections, OR create a specific SNAT pool, which you put a list of IP addresses into it, and have the connections use one of those IP addresses as the src IP."

 

 

Does this mean, that if I know the (limited number of) source IPs and create a SNAT pool with those: the source IPs will no longer be hidden from the application (replaced by the Biggy with the floating IP)?!
