It is, many studios only for esoteric or at least as a principle even
without esoteric reasons do produce analog. Believing the claims of a
friend, who is music reviewer, a lot of doom and psychedelic bands have
the policy to produce analog only, that doesn't prevent against loudness
war and other issues done by talent free engineers and they sell the
recordings usually as CDs.

No production I know does sound on LP and/or CD as the original master
tape.
Most recent CDs were mastered digitally,
therefore is the original
master equivalent (at least in quality) to the CD i own?
Yes. As long as the file's not gone through any transformations, but
simply copied, it's the same as if you were listening to the originally
rendered final mix from the studio. Is there any
way to tell/reasonably guess if a CD has been digitally
mastered without those codes?
Unless noted otherwise, I always assume a full digital chain, though that
can easily be incorrect.
