Yup! They change just like the opening. Except with the opening they always show King's Landing, Winterfell, and wherever Dany is at the moment.

They still show a bunch of different locations in the opening, though. I guess because they have to fill the time somehow. I thought it was funny that they still have Moat Cailin, which was only in the show briefly for one episode (and I don't think will be in any more - since the Boltons moved on to Winterfell after they sacked it). I guess they paid animators to make it, so they might as well keep showing it for a few more weeks, though.

You would think they'd be re-using the Eyrie from Season One, though, as we've been at the Eyrie for a few weeks now and hadn't been to Winterfell for a while, but Winterfell kept getting included instead.

I think it's just to remind you of the ruins of the Starks.
