Yes, if is down for maintenance, your orders and assets are still there.
The Counterparty Distributed Exchange and all Counterparty transactions are actually apart of the Bitcoin blockchain. This means that Bitcoin itself would have to be shut down entirely in order for it to go offline (which is the most robust and secure cryptocurrency at this time).
Freewallet uses the Tokenscan.io servers to update and show BTC blockchain data for all Counterparty Assets and data.
If Tokenscan is down for maintenance you can always try looking up your Counterparty data on other Counterparty block explorers such as:
Sometimes (not often) Tokenscan undergoes an implementation of a new update, or is verifying that all BTC blocks are being parsed correctly.

This is explained in detail in the section as well as the section of the User Manual.
