Does the operating system cache the PWA application icons automatically?

I am creating a PWA and one of the doubts I have is if I need to cache all the icons that are in the file of manifest.

I use a generator, to create all icons of different sizes and other files, the result is something like:

webmanifest.json :

{
    // ...
    "icons": [
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-36x36.png",
            "sizes": "36x36",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-48x48.png",
            "sizes": "48x48",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-72x72.png",
            "sizes": "72x72",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-96x96.png",
            "sizes": "96x96",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-144x144.png",
            "sizes": "144x144",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-192x192.png",
            "sizes": "192x192",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-256x256.png",
            "sizes": "256x256",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-384x384.png",
            "sizes": "384x384",
            "type": "image/png"
        },
        {
            "src": "/android-chrome-512x512.png",
            "sizes": "512x512",
            "type": "image/png"
        }
    ]
}

browserconfig.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<browserconfig>
    <msapplication>
        <tile>
            <square70x70logo src="/mstile-70x70.png"/>
            <square150x150logo src="/mstile-150x150.png"/>
            <TileColor>#ffffff</TileColor>
        </tile>
    </msapplication>
</browserconfig>

HTML:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/icons/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/icons/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="194x194" href="/icons/favicon-194x194.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="192x192" href="/icons/android-chrome-192x192.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/icons/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest.json">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="/icons/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#000000">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="Costamilam">
<meta name="application-name" content="Costamilam">
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#ffffff">
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/icons/mstile-144x144.png">
<meta name="msapplication-config" content="/browserconfig.xml">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">

I have the impression that the OS itself chooses the best file according to the device and keeps except, in case I wouldn't have why cachea it. But I did not find anything on the internet that corroborates this view
