It is. 
Even the name HLS stands for "HTTP Live Streaming".

As with http objects to cache or not to cache is something the server can 
specify (like no-cache headers (add_header 'Cache-Control' 'no-cache'; [1]) 
etc) and it's on player/client side to honour those.

No matter the stream setup (live stream / with or without history or delay) the 
video chunks are just static files (written by the transcoder).
