Yeah, most of times it does. However, sometimes, when your ult lvl is maxed (this means 50% of damage dealt again in the mark), and the damage is lethal by a very close margin, the shuriken may not appear, then the target will die anyway, no ignite, no dot, no minion attacks, no shields prior to the proc. Maybe, the shuriken overestimates the victim's health by a little to avoid dissappointment if the damage isn't enough.
