Should I suspend hotkeys locally before making an RDP connection to a remote machine?

I run AHK both locally and on a remote machine that I connect to via RDP. Do I need to suspend hotkeys locally when RDP'ing to a machine where AHK is also used? I'm concerned that if scripts on different machines see the same key-presses, it can cause problems, though I have no hard evidence of this.

In case it's relevant, on both machines I have #UseHook On in my AHK scripts.

A great thing about AutoHotkey is that you can answer your question by running your script! That's what I would do.
