i know there was a false start, but does that mean whenever there is a false start but the play still happens that any unsportsmanlike act is ok and is never penalized?

There is a difference between a face mask and unsportsmanlike conduct.

You can get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct at any point in the game. Any point.

Theoretically, however, that face mask never happened, since the play was blown dead.

You are trying to compare apples with oranges here.
