Yes. Owner mail is processed through the OWNER_PIPELINE list of
handlers which does not include things like moderation, member checks,
misc holds, content filtering, etc. but does include SpamDetect so
Privacy options... -> Spam filters -> header_filter_rules are applied.

Note that bounce_matching_headers is not applied to -owner mail as it
is processed by the Hold handler which is not in OWNER_PIPELINE.
