That actually just saves it somewhere, then you have to run alsactl restore at boot, but theres an inistscript for that.. actually ususally that same initscript will save at shutdown, but I guess not :/
Most of the time it's up to you to store the setting. I haven't seen any distributions that automatically save the alsa settings on shutdown, but I don't use many different distributions, so some may exist. Usually, you would run alsaconf after setting up the machine to set up your conf.modules/modules.conf/modprobe.conf/modprobe.d or whatever the module file du jour is for your sound card. alsaconf also sets some reasonable defaults for mixer settings and stores the result in /etc/asound.state. Or in some cases, /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. Most distributions have a startup script that check to see if asound.state exists, and if it does, restore those settings.
