It would appear to in both cases. For example, try compiling the following
CL program and submitting it to batch. It should produce 2 job logs. The
first log does not contain the first message, but the second one contains
both although the first message is sent before the first log is produced.
If you display the job while it is on the 1st delay you will also see that
there is no job log information. If you do the same thing on the second
delay you will see both messages in the log.

    chgjob     LOG(0 00 *MSG)
    sndpgmmsg  ('This message sent with log level 0') +
                 TOPGMQ(*ext)
    dlyjob     10
    dspjoblog  OUTPUT(*print)
    chgjob     LOG(1 00 *MSG)
    sndpgmmsg  ('This message sent with log level 1') +
                 TOPGMQ(*ext)
    dlyjob     12
endpgm

That doesn't necessarily sound like a good idea. A program might still want
to be able to retrieve the messages at some point even if they were
filtered from the log.
