Does being logged in fb-messenger-cli makes me online on messenger?

Maybe a bad formulation. But to state my question;
If I am using messenger on my phone, I am not always logged in. I will only be "online" (thus having a green dot on messenger, active) when I am actually inside the messenger application.
However, my guess in this cli interface is that as long as I am logged on in the fb-messenger-cli, I will be seen as online/active in messenger by other users. Is this correct?
If the above statement is correct. Is it possible to have a feature/change so that I don't appear as online/active just because I'm logged into fb-messenger-cli?
I think the feature seems possible (We'd just have to emulate the requests made when we turn on/off our active status), but I think it's worth testing first that being active in the cli does make you seem "online".
If possible, can you create a dummy account (Though it's not explicitly stated whether it's supported by messenger app) and test it on your end first and post your updates here?
We don’t send any request to set the user’s online presence so you should theoretically appear as offline. There is one exception and that is when you login with user/pass we spin up a headless chromium browser which will almost certainly trigger your online status.
