It does, but it's also complicated, depending on your player, the codec
order you have specified, the audio source, whether you are seeking or
not, how you have configured resampling rules... In 8.1, we have tried
to "rationalize" that better but for example, with all versions prior to
8.1 you could end up sending pcm instead of flac if you use squeezelite
*and* you have set codecs order to be "pcm,flc". With 8.1, you have this
option to prefer "native format first" which means that the transcoder
will first try to find a rule that does not change format where
previously it was stopping as soon as it had found a rule that matched
all criteria, where is implies transcoding or not. 

But that difference only applies to 8.1 and if you use SB or squeezelite
out of the box, flc appeared first so flc would always be played as flac
and mp3 always as mp3. You can see the discussion we had there
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113358-transcoder-order
that provides better insights.

So it's difficult to be precise w/o knowing what players the OP used and
how they were configured
