Unless they changed it for 2015+, no it doesn't. Even my current daily 2000 C280 can't turn it completely off. It shows all off, but as soon as you start sliding the light flashes and works in the background to help you correct the slide. It still lets you have fun though, I took the thing to a test and tune autocross and was sliding around all over the place on all seasons.
Even my '07 SLK55 AMG didn't turn everything off with the button. The only way to turn it off was to go through the maintenance menu through a button sequence and put the car in dyno/diagnostic mode... but that also turned off ABS and Airbags. Like the C Class, it does let you slide the car a LOT without completely intervening. It just helps you stay in control in the background - hence so many AMG/Mercedes drift/powerslide clips.
I'd imagine newer BMWs and Mazdas allow you to turn it all off. Porsche does, the 4C forces all off in Race mode - but I don't know if one can assume the Giulia allows it. Civic Si/TypeR? I know the Type R can be turned off completely by holding the button down long enough.
