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.
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.

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
For desktop windows this is not true. A remote sign in will sign out the local user and vice versa
