Not exactly, but close.
UNHCR is no longer directly involved in Refugee Status Determinations ("RSD") in Hong Kong:
"Because Hong Kong is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and has no legal framework governing the granting of asylum, UNHCR has traditionally been responsible for RSD and for providing assistance to asylum-seekers and refugees. Following a landmark court decision, the Hong Kong government introduced the Unified Screening Mechanism (USM) to screen non-refoulement, or protection, claims on 3 March 2014. Since then, UNHCR is no longer involved in direct RSD in the territory, playing instead an advisory and capacity building role."

As well, I'm trying hard to recall any time when refugees or asylum-seekers could work in Hong Kong. Indeed, nowadays they're permitted to live in the community, while decades ago the Vietnamese boat people were locked up at places like Whitehead.
