Yes, at least according to the Net console in Firebug.
As stated by thethimble, CSS is the presentation layer and affects rendering, not the actual processing of the page.
It wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility for some browsers, especially mobile, to potentially not download this in an attempt to optimize performance.
