Yes, but with downloadable X-Payments you need to install it properly first. With hosted plan - it gets pre-installed for you and ready for integration with your X-Cart shop.

and about cron

You do not need to upgrade PHP and deal with cron at your X-Cart server if you go with hosted plans.
X-Payments hosted plans are already pre-configured and running on 100% compatible and PCI-compliant servers so you do not need to worry about X-Payments side of server questions.
