No, the table will still be removed at the end of the script whether you use
persistant connections or not.

Temporary tables are unique for that specific question. So you can have the
same script creating the "same" temporary table and 100 people hit it
without issues. Each script creates it's own temporary table with a unique
name that only that connection has access to.
