No. The most recent backup image is kept for any droplet with backups enabled. Using your backup image to restore your droplet does not cause it to be deleted. Destroying the droplet with the backup service will cause any associated backups to be destroyed. If you wish to keep a particular backup image you can convert it to a snapshot image which is never deleted unless you choose to delete it. You can learn more about backups and snapshots here.
