[Cable] cable Internet from Teksavvy: public IP address?

I have a cable Internet from Teksavvy. I use Technicolor (Thomson) DCM476 cable modem provided by Teksavvy. It has one (output) Ethernet port.
If I connect a computer or VOIP ATA directly to the modem, will it have a public IP address? Of course, dynamic one.
Or will it be behind a router (either built-in the modem, or on the provider side)?

BTW, the modem is locked, so I cannot change any settings or do port forwarding.

The DCM476 is not locked. It just has no features that you can change since it's a bridge-only cable modem, meaning it will just assign the device plugged into it a public IP address.
