Hi,

No, locking your Mac brings up the Login screen, but does not actually log you 
out.  In time, it will likely go to sleep according to its regular schedule 
though.  By locking your Mac, the apps and windows that are open remain ready 
for you once you unlock it.  It’s a much faster response than logging out or 
waking from sleep.

Later…
