No. Cocoa doesn't return a copy of the string.
Test program attached below. The output is the same on GNUstep:

  2012-01-18 10:41:31.294 test[43670] string (1) = This is the first string
  2012-01-18 10:41:31.294 test[43670] string (2) = This is the second string
  2012-01-18 10:41:31.294 test[43670] string (3) = This is the second string
  No copy

and on Cocoa:

  2012-01-18 10:42:33.089 test[43687:903] string (1) = This is the first string
  2012-01-18 10:42:33.114 test[43687:903] string (2) = This is the second string
  2012-01-18 10:42:33.115 test[43687:903] string (3) = This is the second string
  No copy
