[Star Wars] Does a lightsaber wound instantly cauterize itself?

We see someone get their arm chopped off in the first star Wars movie, and there's blood, but in later movies, people suffer serious wounds from lightsabers and don't bleed at all.

It does. But not every species responds to lightsaber trauma in the same way. Human flesh and Aqualish flesh are not exactly the same, and Aqualish can still bleed after being slashed by the weapon. It's not a lot of blood considering the severity of the injury, however. So the wound is still cauterized, at least to an extent.
