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.
