If the marriage was consummated, does annulment mean it never happened?

No, it's not that simple.

A couple could have had sexual intercourse but still have had invalid vows. Just to take an obvious example, say it turned out that they were half-sibling with the same father but different mothers. Their vows would be invalid because they were actually not eligible to marry in the first place. They were close blood relatives.
