Yes, this is known and basically unavoidable with most codecs. Each frame is dependent on one or more frames that came before. Even if a system made this seem to not happen, from your point of view, it still would be happening in the background. I mentioned this problem when discussing multi threading. The only workaround is to use intra-frame only compression, so all frames are independent. Some codecs you listed always work that way.
