No. iCloud doesn't back up photo stream photos; it streams them to your other devices. If you delete a photo stream photo from your phone it will be deleted from iCloud and all other devices/computers sharing your photo stream.


You can't really use iCloud to store your photos so you can free up space on your phone. If you want to free up space, you'll need to import your camera roll photos to your computer and delete them from your phone as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you have photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too.
