Not necessarly at all ^^
Files are saved in the current working directory (folder), which isn't always the script directory :P (at running time if you have modifying it as well as at start)

To know what's the current working directory, you can use:

import os
print(os.getcwd())

And to get the running script directory:

import os
print(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))

If you're using the SL playground, you'll get
..\Playground\
..\Playground\

To see the contents, use print(os.listdir()), which will give you
[source.py, new file.txt]

source.py is the current script you are running.

Since newfile.txt is on the SL server not your device, you can't edit it later, and it isn't saved by SL.
