Yes, V8 uses a heap similar to JVM and most other languages. This, however, means that local variables (as a general rule) are put on the stack and objects in the heap. This may for instance not hold if a function closes over these values.
As in the JVM, primitives can only be stored on the stack if they are stored in a local variable.
As a user it is not something you would normally need to worry about.
