Yes. That is exactly what happens:
In [7]: qs[0]
Out[7]: <OrganisaatioOsa: THL - Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos>
In [9]: print connection.queries
[{'time': '0.011', 'sql': 'SELECT ... FROM "organisaatio_osa" LIMIT
1'}]

In [10]: qs[0]
Out[10]: <OrganisaatioOsa: THL - Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos>
In [11]: print connection.queries
[{'time': '0.011', 'sql': 'SELECT ... FROM "organisaatio_osa" LIMIT
1'},
 {'time': '0.001', 'sql': 'SELECT ... FROM "organisaatio_osa" LIMIT
1'}]

If you do not want this to happen, you can evaluate your queryset into
a list first by:
objlist = list(qs[0:wanted_limit])
and now objlist is just a regular Python list.

The lazy evaluation of querysets can be a little surprising sometimes.
Using django-debug-toolbar or just settings.DEBUG = True, and then
print connection.queries is recommended :)

Slight clarification: the slicing will only trigger a db call if the queryset has not been evaluated. Converting it to a list is one way of doing that, but if you iterate the queryset in any way it will populate the internal cache and not call the database on subsequent slices.
