Yes, but it's complicated; see below.

This is rather precisely defined; not by Ubuntu but by the init
system. In systemd there are many targets that indicate various state
of the system during boot[1][2]
For networking, the ones that matter are:
network-pre.target (before systemd has attempted to bring the network up)
network.target (systemd has started to bring network up; for
Artful/Bionic, this means systemd-
network-
configured, routable)
Dnsmasq itself is a networking service, so arguably, it is fine to run
at After=network.
all of networking has been configured. Dnsmasq has two choices. 1)
it can run later, at network-
done with creating and configuring interfaces. 2) start at
After=network.
when a
configured interface is present and ready for it to use.
Since dnsmasq does not watch dbus or netlink for new interfaces and
when they're configured, then the only solution is to run after such
a time that the configured interfaces are ready for use by dnsmasq.
