Not necessarily. Take jQuery: many sites use it. If both sites A and B load it from a CDN, and I've already visited site A, then when I visit site B, jQuery is already in my cache: we might not even need to request it, despite never having been to site B before. However, traditionally, the CDN now controls the content of your JS, and could inject whatever they want into it. That's where this proposal comes in… (Of course, if it isn't in the cache, then you might need as much as a DNS lookup+TCP connect+a TLS handshake to another host… tradeoffs. HTTP/1.x is also limited to n connections to a DNS name at time, so you can parallelize requests by hosting across multiple domains, such as a CDN, but I find this argument less compelling.)
