Yes, mechanical disc brake calipers are cable-activated, while hydraulic calipers are activated by a fluid in a flexible pipe and requires a suitable hydraulic lever. (actually, "mechanical" is a misnomer, as both are, essentially, mechanical).
Hydraulic brakes will work fine in winter, as the liquid used is some kind of long-chain oil, usually of mineral origin. However, I have not seen a real advantage of hydraulic vs. mechanical disc brakes. Perhaps there is, if you are into extreme sports? I don't know.
