In any given online hand, are the cards for that hand all coming from the same 52 card deck?

If you are counting outs and combinations, as you do in bricks and mortar poker, then the above is crucial.

Yes, every hand is dealt from a single (virtual, obviously) 52-card deck.

Where you might be getting confused is that some sites do what's called a "continuous shuffle".

In live poker the dealer obviously shuffles at the start of the hand, then the order of the deck is set for the duration of the hand. Some online sites deal in this way. Others just choose a card at random from any of the remaining cards in the deck that haven't already been dealt. Try not to get hung up on this, it makes absolutely no difference to the game (but is theoretically more secure from hackers).
