Yes, I tried it just now on a random website I built in Vue. Any sane implementation of client-side navigation uses the History API[1]. It is indistinguishable from "real" navigation in the browser UI, apart from how fast it is.
If on the other hand, if you encounter code like the abomination below (which breaks cmd+click, peek and forward/back), you should not (imo) conflate it with actual client-side navigation. I suspect that's what some comments here are referring to.
