Surfaces may produce diffuse or direct reflections (or more commonly, a mixture of both) for any light source. If you can see it, it's being reflected.

And even if you can't see it. You won't see a spot from an IR laser while it's burning the hell out of your retina. Which is why many (but not all) IR lasers co-produce a visible spot so you can see where the dangerous beam is.
