Not usually AFAIK. That door switch operates another switch (solenoid type) that does isolate the converter from the batteries in the MHs I have seen and read about on here.
On shore power with that switch made, the converter will still run the 12v stuff in the RV, but not be able to charge the batteries. I don't see how that door switch can work the lights when you are on shore power.
With no shore power and that door switch made, the batteries will be unable to run the RV's 12v stuff (except anything direct wired to the batteries, like jacks, etc.) Now that door switch would work the lights.
