I think the simple answer is that the switch just turns on the VF metering.
As I understand it, the auto-exposure circuits and the stuff that lights
the LEDs in the VF are quite separate. When you press the button, that
switches on the auto-exposure circuitry whether the meter switch is on or
off. So the short answer to your question is "no" - except that you won't
know the shutter speed in use if the switch is "off".
