I don't RDP that often to physical devices, but I'm pretty damn sure the default settings for RDP forcefully logs/locks out your user on the physical device and only your lock screen is visible. I have never tried it but I'm also pretty sure it's possible to have two logged in users at once, one using RDP and one using the physical device.
I was blanking pretty hard when I wrote that and meant to write RDP while thinking of TeamViewer. Need to post stuff less late at night
Remote access with continuum/connectwise, TeamViewer, etc gains access to the screen including for control but doesn't normally black out anything locally.
If its in a common area with speakers, anyone can both see and hear anything done on the machine.
For desktop windows this is not true. A remote sign in will sign out the local user and vice versa
