No, it doesn't.

It's you who must give curl an URL.

So which one is it?

Now you have an URL that you can give to curl. Then:

curl "https://apasfiis.sf.apa.at/ipad/cms-austria/20160525_0900_in_02_Neues-beim-Wien_____13919349__o__1147162205__s13995118_Q8C.mp4/playlist.m3u8"

That will download the playlist, which is probably not what you want
(unless you want to download the playlist, as opposed to the video).
