What if the user uses curl to view the page. Is it now static?



That depends entirely on the page. Does it require javascript execution so that the contents are there? Then it's not. If you can open the file and read the text and see the URLs, yes. But if the page was generated by a script without it ever being a file on the webserver's disk, no.
