If I am reading jpegs off an external site (like flickr), will something like the following actually use my bandwidth for loading the image?...I guess the better way to say it is, does the image actually go through my server if I do this?

does it use the provider's internet capacity ? Yes it does.
Yo. They have to pay for incoming/outgoing traffic, too. And therefore they probably will take incoming traffic (such as reading the image data from another external host) into account. If you want to be sure ask your webhoster.
