I think it's a case by case basis depending on how it's called. My quotes template, which was definitely changing on page refresh at some stage, is no longer doing so, but on another wiki I'm admin o,n our random phrase template embedded in the sidebar still changes on refresh. So yeah, JS would be a safer option but it's all case-by-case, I guess.

EDIT: There's a toggle for the caching according the the documentation. Not sure what version we're running over here but it should work? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RandomSelection#Parameters_to_%3Cchoose%3E
