yes they are
All Live TV channels that are included in the service, are also included with these Playlists.
One thing to remember thou , and that is if there are future channel changes on the system, you then would need to get a fresh copy of a Playlist from the server to also get those changes.. (an example would be one or more new channels added to the system).
Seems some Playlists versions might not have the VOD selections (as I have seen reported).
But other Playlist versions do have the VOD included as well
