NPO/C0G is a temperature coefficient spec. Usually, a low temperature coefficient ceramic will also have low dielectric hysteresis. However, I have encountered exceptions. It's preferable to use capacitors where the manufacturer's data sheet gives a limit on hysteresis. A common spec for a "good" capacitor is <0.1% hysteresis.
