Yes..

That would only happen if you are using some kind of local proxy, such
as an Apache ProxyPass directive. Then usermin would auto-login as the
Apache user!

Personally, I recommend against using that localauth feature, except in
very limited circumstances, such as a non-network box that is only
running a browser locally.
