Yes, code is just local Scala code unless it's invoking Spark APIs.
The "non-Spark-streaming" block appears to just be normal program code
executed in your driver, which ultimately starts the streaming
machinery later. It executes once; there is nothing about that code
connected to Spark. It's not magic.

To execute code against every RDD you use operations like foreachRDD
on DStream to write a function that is executed at each batch interval
on an RDD.
