If you talk about using existing ISO and rebuild them, the answer is no,
at least not directly. You need to do things in manual way, and you need
to understand how archiso works to unpack and re-create it.
I mainly want that the packages ./build.sh downloads, are retained in a
permanent cache. I am fine with rebuilding all the squashfs files, and
not reusing the existing iso.

Alternatively, can it use the chroot environment's pacman cache?
pacman cache (from host) is used in chroot with a bind mount (when using
mkarchroot).
So for example, if you are building a 32-bit iso in 64-bit host, all
32-bit pkgs will be downloaded on /var/cache/pacman/pkg from host. Of
course this is not an issue ;)
I am using the releng method, as specified on the wiki. Maybe the wiki
needs a bit of more detailed info.
Yes, contributions are welcomed :)
Thanks for all the explanation.
Good Luck!
