The preview links don't expire on their own, though they can be revoked by the user. So, as long as the user doesn't disable the link, or delete the file, yes, you'd still be able to use them after an arbitrary amount of time.

When using the Dropbox Chooser, Dropbox will automatically create the link to the file when the user chooses the file. The user does not need to go to Dropbox to create the link themnselves first.
