systemd waits for ExecStop= to finish before executing later jobs (well,
subject to a timeout, of a couple of minutes).

What really matters is that you order your service before/after the
right things, and be aware that:

a) the stop order is implicitly the reverse of the start order

b) if a job is started and another one stopped and they are ordered
against each other, then the stop is executed first, and the start
executed second, regardless which kind of ordering is actually
configured.
