The answer is yes. The meter reads the AC component if it can not read both. Some clamp on current meters read both.

[Abd's open letter] I am not 100% sure, but I think an AC meter would read a current from such fluctuating DC, I might be wrong, easy to test, but I am moving house soon so my equipment is packed away, but some AC meters such as clamp meters should still give an AC reading, as for an AC volt meter I am unsure, maybe, maybe not.

Meters have to be able to see this because a DC bias is a common problem. It depends on the meter, but many don't have correction for such Bias I believe, maybe better quality ones do. As I have said, those predisposed to opposition to advancement will always find some argument, it is futile trying to counter them all, merely warm those who are not aware to be careful of undue and irrational skepticism. Let's just admit that Rossi might just be a magician, and that seems like only a very very remote possibility with little apparent motive. A very distant remote possibility. Anything less then him almost certainly faking is enough certainly to warrant investigation and replication and interest in his research. John
