Yes.

Changes made to the OpenStreetMap database are available to other
mappers immediately.  Other services, outside of the OpenStreetMap
database, will consume and process updates from OpenStreetMap on a
schedule that they determine.  Some services process updates from
OpenStreetMap within minutes or hours.  Other services process updates
from OpenStreetMap within days or weeks.

To find the schedule used by a specific service you should ask them.
