Only if your webserver is configured to serve up that file in response to requests for the root of the URL heirarchy.

It will very much vary on a per-host basis. Django code may not be responsible for serving all of the URLs for a particular site, for example. Somewhere in the web server's configuration (regardless of which web server is being used), there will be a setting that says "everything under this part of the URL tree gets passed off to that Django process over there for processing". Different parts of the URL tree may be passed off to different Django instances. So whether Django is responsible for serving a response to www.mysite.com/ depends on the configuration of your site.
