Yes, it is persistent. From the File Hierarchy Standard
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEVARHIERARCHY
The /var/tmp directory is made available for programs that
require temporary files or directories that are preserved
between system reboots. Therefore, data stored in /var/tmp is
more persistent than data in /tmp.
