Yes.
And it's described in the manual:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Query_Cache_How.html
m> Example:
m> select customer_name from customers where state = 'NY' //<-Adds query to cache
m> insert into customers (customer_name, state) values('jones',
m> 'CA') //<-Flushes the cache for customers table?
m> select customer_name from customers where state = 'NY' //<-No longer in cache?

Yes.
