When you stop your VM, billing stops - you only pay while it's running.
If you can't find the same GPU when restarting, you'll need to wait for availability. That's why using a location with network storage and dedicated ips is crucial - your data/setup persists so you can resume on any available GPU in the entire datacenter instead of just the current hostnode without starting over.
Without network storage, stopping the VM means losing everything and having to rebuild from scratch each time.
