It´s unknown how long the absence will last. It could be for just one issue of the monthly V Jump. This week´s Chapter 103 ends the 3 chapters manga-only epilogue to DBS: Super Hero. It might be the final printed work Toriyma assisted with. He corrects the manga´s art and dialogue after getting Toyotarou´s chapter breakdowns: https://imgur.com/a/z5nFI9u
Those rough drafts (NAME) are made based on outlines by Toriyama making Toriyama responsible for the overall story direction. Toriyama also wrote the full scripts for the 4 BDS films. The manga´s creation process is similar to the (in)famous Marvel Method Stan Lee used: https://www.cbr.com/marvel-comics-marvel-method-depictions/
The manga and the DBS anime differ. Often greatly. Films 2 and 3 happen off-screen, both versions of the Future Trunks Saga are nearly unrecognizable from each other but 2 manga original arcs set between the endpoint of the DBS anime and DBS: Super Hero also exist. Those gave a new status quo for Freeza and Vegeta leading to a big cliffhanger the anime lacks. Dragon Ball Daima´s effect on the manga is unknown as of now.
