CloudFlare usually just serve you a cached version of the site to increase performances and reduce the bandwidth. It automatically caches CSS, images and scripts but the rules are customizable.

No it does not. Resources, such as css, js, pictures, often yes.

You don't get cached hackernews page because they use cf in front. As the other commenter said, it's nonsense.
