it's +100%
I think the only effect is, that a siege on this province will take longer. I guess it's about double the time, when the province has stone or a lvl 1 fortress and trible the time with stone and the fortress.

Is this true? It seems odd that defensive bonuses would add nothing to actual combat, while offensive bonuses (i.e Cataphracts) do.

stone does not interact with troups. It's only about provinces.
cataphracts is a bonus for a unittype. (like a lot other ideas and inventions give bonus to offensive and defensiv and morale and disciplin)
Not to be compared
At least this is what my experiences say
