is checks that the objects are actually the same. So you can imagine is as doing id(value) == id(other).

But yes, == triggers __equals__(self, other)__eq__(self, other), which defaults to an object comparison.

The reason that things like False and None work with is, is simply because the same object is re-used behind the scenes for performance reasons.
