MMS and Data Block
I've noticed a number of older threads that attempt to answer this question without any clear answer, so I've submitted a query to Telus Support. Text of Message Submitted to Telus Support It ...
MMS may not use billable data (if you have a messaging plan) but it still uses data to send and receive MMS messages. They are not the same as SMS / text messages.
In terms of blocking data, when I log in to the iOS version of the My Telus app, and select the Usage tab at the bottom, dead centre on the next page is a toggle labeled "Data access on". Toggling it off should stop data access. I would imagine the Android version would be the same.

Did you ever get a response. I have the same questions.
