Can inline-flex containers take margin, padding, width and height values?

Since Guil said here that flex containers with the display: inline-flex property attributed to them act like inline elements does that mean that these elements can't take margin, padding, width and height properties?

I wasn't really familiar with display: inline-flex but I did a little research and apparently you can add margin, padding, height and width to inline-flex. I found this codepen that I could try different settings in. Honestly, I'm not really sure where inline-flex would come in handy, but maybe at some point!
