If they’re banned from their own instance, that ban federates out and they’re completely banned off that account.
If some other instance bans them, that ban is instance specific and that person can still interact with communities and people from other instances, except the one that banned them.

As far as I understand;
A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they’re banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.
There’s nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.
