That will only happen when the call is natively bridged:

Non-native bridge: Packets can get translated or Asterisk has an interest
in the packet for things like DTMF or call recording.
Native bridge doing packet-to-packet (Local bridging): Packets come in on
one channel and go out the other channel with nothing else done to them.
Native bridge doing direct media (Remote bridging): Packets go directly
between endpoints so Asterisk never sees them.
