No, interrupts are injected to both domains sharing the same IRQ.
See arch/x86/irq.c/__do_IRQ_guest() for details.

Note that in __do_IRQ_guest(), interrupt handling control flow for PCI
passthrough case
Is the same for PV event channel case. Guest doesn't disable the IRQ line
unless
there is a malfunction.
