To answer your question: No. CentOS doesn't really record everything a user does. You could view their .bash_history file as kenny.r suggests, but they can delete this file if they want.

What you are looking for is process accounting, you can get a quick and simply introduction to it here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-log-user-activity-using-process-accounting.html

cat .bash_history

You can check the .bash_history file in that user's home directory to see the commands he has performed.
