Are both magnetic fields emanated from an electromagnet fed with a current spike from a charge capacitor and a rotating static magnetic field from permanent magnets instances of time varying fields?

The permanent magnet would be attached to perhaps some rotating disc thus passing over a target were as an electromagnet can stay over the target and is a magnet only when the capacitor discharges thru it. Does the rotating permanent magnet induce eddy currents?

How can it be rotating and static at the same time?

It depends on how it rotates, in general yes.
