No, it does not appear so.

At least on an iPhone 5s with iOS 10.0.1, it only sends audio out to the headphone jack OR the Lightning-to-headphone adapter, whichever is plugged in last.
If you have both plugged in and remove one, it switches to the other for audio output.
Finally, if I boot the phone up with both plugged in, it seems to default to the Lightning-to-headphone adapter.

The adapter comes with a 1 year warranty with or without the iPhone if purchased separately it will still have a 1 year warranty but if the adapter came with the iPhone the warranty over date will be the same for when the iPhones 1 year warranty is over

In short, Yes.

Long Answer:

I do video production using iPhone cameras, gimbals, and Røde Mics. I was hesitant to upgrade from my iPhone 6s Plus, because of the uncertainty regarding this exact issue. Still, the temptation of DOUBLE the on camera storage (from 128 to 256GB) and the enticement of the new dual lens camera (optical and digital) were enough to make me buy the 7 (while keeping my 6s along with its trusty headphone jack, just in case...) LOL!

The Good news is:

I just tested my Røde SmartLav plugged into my new iPhone 7 Plus' Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter and recording with FilMic Pro. It works when plugged in directly, and it work when plugged in to my 25ft TRRS extension cable.

I haven't tested my Røde Video Mic GO nor my Røde VideoMicro (which I normally use with the TRS patch cable plugged directly into my JVC GY-HM170U Ultra HD 4KCAM as a backup audio capture separate from the Røde NTG2 Condenser Shotgun Microphone plugged into 1 of the 2 XLR channels) yet, because I am waiting on the new SC7 3.5mm TRS to TRRS Patch Cable Adapter I just ordered from Amazon, but in theory, since the SmartLav was automatically recognized my the iPhone through the Lightning Adapter the other two mics should work just as well.

Since I too had the same question and got NO answer before I got to test it myself, I hope this helps!
