Partly true. The use-when expression is evaluated at compile time. The use-when expression can invoke the element-available() function. When the element-available() function is called in the use-when expression then it is evaluated at compile time. If element-available() is called in other expressions then it is (conceptually) evaluated at run-time. However, in all cases except pathological test cases invented by malicious QA people, the argument to element-available() is a string literal, which means the result of the expression is known statically.
