I believe you are confusing VNC on Windows with VNC on Linux.  On
Windows the answer is yes since there is a single video server and you
are simply taking over.  However, with vncserver on Linux you are
actually creating a separate Xvnc server with its own display.  It will
not be visible on the "console" of the remote machine.
