Looks like once to me.

https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#init_worker_by_lua_block says

Runs the specified Lua code upon every Nginx worker process's startup when the master process is enabled. When the master process is disabled, this hook will just run after init_by_lua*.

Also, there's an openresty-en mailing list, that might be a better place for openresty-specific questions.
