No, it will allow you to enter your passphrase of the ssh key at login/auth time. If that passphrase works (i.e. is able to decrypt your idendity) it will asume you are authorized. In addition to that it will feed the passphrase to ssh-agent. This is different from normal login, that you only need to give one password, which is your login password and your ssh agent password. your unix password will in that case never be checked.
