No.  The web server can read the files, as it runs as root.  So access
to the files is then controlled by the web server.  Which will allow
you to access them from anywhere that has access to the web server -
it is not set up by default with any restrictions on access.  To check
that it is working, run this from a (non-root) command prompt on that
box:

wget http://127.0.0.1/playlist.m3u

It should download a copy of the playlist.m3u file.
