If you mean "could people still view the pages in the undefined
namespace", the answer is probably yes, somehow. It would likely be
tricky, but it could probably be done (e.g., using the API, maybe
other ways too).
The API can be used to view such 'invisible' pages, yes,
although it
wouldn't be trivial: you'd have to know (or guess) one of the following
things:
* a user who edited the page
* a non-restricted page that is linked from the page
* a non-restricted page or template that is transcluded by the page
* a non-restricted image that is used on the page
* a category that the page is in
Also, Special:Recentchanges will probably show changes to these
restricted pages (at least list=recentchanges will).
