Well the idea of the secure_link module is to prevent people directly accessing any file without their own generated link.
The generated hash matches that user's IP, the URL and contains a UNIX timestamp what is set to expire the URL after about 5 hours.

With the secure_link module you can also include other personal information on the user into the encrypted string of the generated secure link such as cookies, user-agents etc.

I guess to answer your question no the files should not be publicly accessible without first accessing the webpage that generates the secure_link for you to access the file via.
