Yes, live storage migration is possible; although at the moment, qemu is lacking a way to restart the operation if it fails midstream, so libvirt only allows the operation if you are willing to temporarily make your guest transient.
What does this mean? Will I loose anything if - for example - there is not enough space on the target device? Or it will still use the original disk image? AFAIK, a transient guest only means it will disappear after the virtualisation session ends.
