No, your online status isn't exposed by publishing your `briar://` link. For strangers to be able to connect to you you must first add them as a contact, otherwise they won't know where to find you in the Tor network.

For a more technical explanation, for each new contact a separate Tor hidden service gets created whose address depends on both your own and your contact's public key. See the [Bramble Rendezvous Protocol](https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-spec/-/blob/master/protocols/BRP.md#2-the-rendezvous-protocol) for more information.
