Depends. For regular expression based location is does, for prefix based
locations it doesn't. See
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location

A location can either be defined by a prefix string, or by a regular
> expression. Regular expressions are specified with the preceding “~*”
> modifier (for case-insensitive matching), or the “~” modifier (for
> case-sensitive matching). *To find location matching a given request,
> nginx first checks locations defined using the prefix strings (prefix
> locations). Among them, the location with the longest matching prefix is
> selected and remembered. Then regular expressions are checked, in the order
> of their appearance in the configuration file. The search of regular
> expressions terminates on the first match, and the corresponding
> configuration is used. If no match with a regular expression is found then
> the configuration of the prefix location remembered earlier is used.*
