I may not be that skilled in programing (yet), but at least I try to keep ideas comming :P
No. AddOns can only read in from this file when a player logs in (at which point the game reads the file for the AddOns) and can only write to the file when a character logs out (at which point the game writes the data the AddOns has asked for it to save to the file).
