In general, but not always.

Some (perhaps all) PROC DATASETS information, for example, is sent to
the log but can be controlled by ODS.

=====
ods listing select all;

proc datasets library=sasuser;
run; quit;

ods listing select none;

ods output base.datasets.members=members;

proc datasets library=sasuser;
run; quit;

ods output close;
=====

creates the following log:
