 That's right.
 Such a setup will, *in theory*, present problems due to interference between
 the two antennas.
 In reality, they may interfere so much that the setup is unuseable, or they
 may not present any interference that can be noticed.
 This depends on many factors, some of which may cancel others, such as the
 antenna designs, orientation, height above the ground, distance between
 antennas, and many more. In any given setup, experimentation is the only way
 to see if it will work as expected.
