It depends on browser if there were no cache-related headers in response.

By default nginx doesn't return any cache-related headers. If the browser has
cached some page, it can show the page to user without requesting server.

If there is no server defined for a requested host, it falls back to that one
with the "default_server" parameter in the listen directive for a specific
address:port pair, or to the first one in the configuration if there is no such
parameter.
