No, it isn't.  emacsclient just sends a command to Emacs telling it to
visit a file and display it in a frame.  All the rendering is done by
the "server", i.e. Emacs itself.

> I have honestly never looked at the code for server/client so I don't know how separation is done.

It's easy to see that by reading server.el.
