Not in a strict sense. It's more like a simulation of determinism within a nondeterministic system.

If you look at it from the perspective of theoretical machines, like Turing machines, a nondeterministic machine can possess extensive deterministic submachines. That's really what is going on here.
And natural laws?

Are they not deterministic?

It appears you do not understand what these words actually mean.
