Not exactly, not completely. When you click on a pdf file or any other file type the browser (which ever browser) knows how to handle, it offers to open or download it. If you choose open (or if have set the browser to always open, don't ask), before opening it, it will be downloaded somewhere, and the browser (mozillla, for instance) does not ask where that temporary download will go; what I have seen is that it goes to a random named file somewhere under /tmp.
I know this is a bit of a tangent, but I'll mention it because I think it's so useful. There is a Firefox plug-in named "PDF Download" which gives you the choice on each PDF file accessed to download it or view it in-browsers (assuming the Adobe Reader / Acrobat plug-in is installed). It can also perform an HTML conversion for in-browser viewing if you don't have the plug-in. Most of the time, I don't want to view PDFs in the browser, but I also don't want to mess with the system-level installation of the PDF plug-in. You can find it via the Firefox Extensions download service.
