See primarycache and secondarycache properties. They determine caching
policies for ARC and L2ARC respectfully. Valid values are none,
metadata and all.

So, the answer you your question above is yes for metadata in RAM and
no for data-only for L2ARC as there is no way to enable data chache
without metadata.
