I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I really don't know:
typically, does shifting an automatic transmission into neutral
actually disengage a gear or does it merely cause the torque
converter to stop transferring torque?

Neither, actually. It disengages a clutch inside the transmission.

Which disengages the gears.

No, it doesn't. The teeth of the gears are still in mesh.

Even in most manual transmissions today the gears (except for reverse)
are in constant mesh.
