It's also written to the tablespace. Oracle does not stop writing to the datafiles during a hot backup. It just doesn't make any sense to do a hot backup if you're not archiving because a hot backup requires at least a few log files to recover the database to an openable state. A hot backup without archived redo logs is worthless.
