Do wasm -> builtin calls, e.g. DOM methods still call the JS code if JS code has been monkey-patched?

E.g. if userscript replaces the built-in window.fetch() API to modify page behavior will wasm also be intercepted?

At the moment, wasm can only call functions that were passed as values of the import object which is passed to to one of the instantiation functions (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...), so which function gets called is up to the embedding JS code.
