Unless you explicitly configure a different subnet, yes. Remember, each one
is a completely distinct virtual network, bu they are all configured in the
same way. It wouldn't make much sense to have multiple NATed network
interfaces in the same VM, even if you configure them differently.

What you probably want in your setup is multiple bridges not associated
with a physical interface, each on its own private subnet, with a firewall
on the host handling forwarding between them. In this way you can configure
if and how each VM sees the rest of your network or other VMs.
