Yes, but in case sharding would have been enabled, the seek FOP would be handled correctly (detected as not supported at all). I'm still not sure how arbiter prevents doing shards though. We normally advise to use sharding *and* (optional) arbiter for VM workloads, arbiter without sharding has not been tested much. In addition, the seek functionality is only available in recent kernels, so there has been little testing on CentOS or similar enterprise Linux distributions.
