No. Debian LTS updates continue to go into stretch-updates.
Obviously as each package maintainer is not expected to maintain
their package for oldstable and older and the LTS team has limited
resources, I cannot say that it is safe or advisable to rely on LTS
forever, but LTS can continue to be used until the release is
archived.
After stretch is archived the packages would only be found on
archive.debian.org (which you can also get through BitFolk's
apt-cacher).
Cheers,
Andy
