Not quite.
A twink is someone in their late teens to early twenties who looks even younger because of a combination of traits such as being skinny, low muscle mass, baby faced, short etc.
They don't need to be weak or submissive but they are often used in those circumstances in porn.

couple of definitions i found which are more or less as i thought, latter from urbandictionary.com ;
Twink (gay slang), a term for a young or young-looking gay or bisexual man.
Most likely a term coined from the snack cake "Twinkie"; a pretty, yellow cake with a thick cream filling, and most importantly, nearly phallic in shape.

A "twink" is usually considered a homosexual male with attractive, boyish qualities. Typically from the ages of 18-25, and often thought as a young, white, fashionable male.Most likely a term coined from the snack cake "Twinkie"; a pretty, yellow cake with a thick cream filling, and most importantly, nearly phallic in shape.
"Weak" is a perception thing and everyone has different reasons they see others as "weak". "Weak" isn't something most men would use as a descriptive term to identify oneself so there's no term to cover that.
Skinny, little, submissive are all perfect descriptors that some men may use to describe themselves. There is no term specifically for someone who has all three. Closest thing would be a sumbissive twink, but not all twinks are submissive and they most likely wouldn't describe themselves as "weak". Also, as said above Twinks are usually men who are teens to 20s.
So if you were looking for a term to like advertise who you are into/looking for. The closest would be a submissive twink or sub twink.
I think describing twinks as weak plays into the false stereotypes surrounding the gay community and twinks. I was a twink for sure at 5ft'8 and 120lbs with virtually no body hair and young looking face. Being gay or bi doesn't make you less strong. Strength isn't a particular size. I think the more appropriate term would be vulnerable.
Despite some of the tribe groups I've seen on Grindr from guys over 25 lol
Definitely refers to someone's build and age range. Mannerism, or assertiveness has nothing to do with it. Same with shorter guys and some of the assumptions there. There's no real correlation outside of some pretty basic stereotyping.
....Just for fun, Im going to leave this right here: https://twinktop.com/
'Twink' as it is described: 18-22, smooth, lean, ripped, and hung. Eg: a Bel-Ami porn boy is considered a 'twink'.
I think that some people just get a little impetuous about how they fill those things out. Or just go by the fact that they might have a willowy build, or maybe dress a certain way. idunno. :/
