Has it done so in past?

Rule of thumb: all companies do layoffs. Companies prefer to do them after some other companies have made the news for layoffs.
If someone says hiring freeze it can mean anything from no more screening to no more interviews to no more offers, for 2 to 50 weeks. So really what does it mean.
Sometimes they do this kind of hiring roll back just before a layoffs to lessen the layoffs by letting the newly hired go first. But that's not too common.
You have an offer. Is your alternative of not working or staying somewhere you didn't seem to want to stay preferable?
