not exactly. There are different cases. 

* some images can be in fact included with data uri schemes to avoid HTTP requests dance. They are encoded in base64. A usual trick for CSS designer (the compression is given by gzip)
See http://css-tricks.com/data-uris/

* Some techniques include CSS positioning where one HTTP request brings a big unique image with a lot of images on it and is positioned with CSS. Avoid HTTP requests, makes a more fluid experience for the user.

one visual symbol (image) != one URI
