Yes, but only as they are requested. If you have image 1-1000 in your attachment database and no new attachment requests are made, the watermark-cache is empty. If users request images 20-30, the cache now contains 10 images with a watermark.

The original images are untouched, if a user requests an image, the plugin checks if a watermarked copy is already available in the cache. If so, the cached image is shown, if else, the plugin creates a watermarked version of it and stores it in the cache. If the cache is already at maximum capacity, one older cached image will be thrown out beforehand.
It duplicates only images that are requested by the user (read: shown) and the number of duplicate images at any time is at maximum the number you defined in the settings.

If you want the plugin not to store the duplicates, set the LRU size to 1 and/or set the cache lifetime to zero.
Altough I don't recommend that, you can still get the functionality like this.
