When you say "block users" do you mean hiding comments from users of that instance? If so, yes.
So, unlike on Lemmy, the individual blocking of an instance by a Piefed user, for them, has the same effect, than an instance defederation of that instance: Blocking its communities and any post or comment of its users.
