It won't stop whatever's sucking down the data (though 250MB isn't THAT much if something got a major update), but in most cases downloads will preferentially use the WiFi if it's available, precisely to save your cellular data usage. There's probably an option somewhere to only allow updates over WiFi but I don't use iOS so I wouldn't know.
