Yes, because screens aren't perfectly transparent acoustically. They reflect some sound, so they act just like you're talking about. This manifests itself as response ripple. There's a measurement of this on the page below, comparing the response of a speaker with and without a screen in front of it. There's also some discussion about what to do about it.
