Not always.

HotFixes are just that "hot off the press" so they are not part of
Update because they are "install at your own risk" types of things where
you have to be aware of your configuration and version.

You can find the hotfixes at http://support.microsoft.com as links
associated with Q articles.

You can also find them on the ftp.microsoft.com site.
