Not anymore -- while they still offer that feature, it's downplayed in favor of a Netflix-style rotating library of games that are downloaded and run on local hardware.
PS3 games are still only available through streaming though, and PS Now is also available on PC where cloud streaming is the only option supplied.

Gaikai became PS Now, which streams a selection of PS3 games on demand
It's the technology behind Share Play, isn't it?
