That depends. The reason recipes tell you to preheat the oven is to get it to as stable a temperature as possible, so if you don't let it preheat enough then the temperature will continue to rise.
Also, whenever you open the door the temperature inside the oven drops. Even in the few seconds it takes to open the door, push whatever it is you're baking in and slam the door shut again the temperature can drop 20-30 degrees (fahrenheit). So even if you preheated the oven, its temperature will drop when you put the food in and increase over the next few minutes to whatever you've set the thermostat to.
People who bake bread sometimes preheat their ovens to 50 or more degrees higher than they intend to cook the bread at to counteract that drop in temperature when they open the door. Once the bread's in they reduce the temperature to the correct value. This helps the gas bubbles in the bread expand a lot immediately, before a crust has a chance to form, and results in higher and lighter bread :)
