Yes, it's how it should work.  But this isn't really how it works 
now - due to bug behaviour is undefined if fastcgi_cache_bypass 
isn't the same as fastcgi_no_cache (and the same applies to 
proxy_cache_bypass/proxy_no_cache and so on).

This is known issue and I believe Igor worked on patching this.  
Avoid using different *_cache_bypass/*_no_cache until this is 
fixed.
