It's the published guideline. Presumably a techie could change it at any time if it were no longer true.
Default InstantCommons configuration (and suggested manual configuration) includes caching; so sites using it should (mostly) not be hotlinking.
However, you can disable the caching in which case you'll be hotlinking the thumbs.
