No.  I just tried it, and it dumped me into my current directory; I
still had search ("execute") permission on it.

In fact, making the home directory owned by root and unreadable,
unwritable, *and* unsearchable by the user *still* doesn't prevent a
login!  I tried it, and it just dumped me into "/".
