I do think so, as do a lot of other people-
https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats//fdd/fdd000571.shtml
"subtitles are stored as Bitmap images,"

or 
https://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/subtitle_formats_explained.cfm 
or a bunch of other pages. It took me under a minute to find these with 
something called "google".

Doubtful, AFAIK few if any modern image formats are. Doesn't matter as 
long as you have a codec for the format in use.
