Yes it will

Cache? No. Data? Yes. (The cache is used for temporary storage, and when you close an app, it's supposed to clear its cache, but that requires using the Back button. If you keep using the Home button when you're finished with an app, the cache never gets cleared, so you do it manually.)

A tangent recommendation:

Voice messages tend to be temporary. If you really want to save them, you need to first save the message to a sound file on your phone, then COPY that file to a folder on your phone not controlled by the voicemail app. Then, since phone storage is not all that reliable, you need to COPY the sound file to your computer or a cloud storage service.
