No, stable security and testing security are provided by two different teams.

And in some cases, testing security updates are being released before stable security updates; for example, the pcre3 update for testing was released on Aug 29 [1], while the stable release came out Sept 2 [2].

The debian stable "team" is exactly one person right now, while the testing team is comprised of a number of people.
