Yes. After you log off, the next user logging in should not be affected by
your access settings.

Man Xserver
       -query host-name
               Enable XDMCP and send Query packets to the  speci­
               fied host.

       -broadcast
               Enable  XDMCP and broadcast BroadcastQuery packets
               to the network.  The first responding display man­
               ager will be chosen for the session.

       -indirect host-name
               Enable XDMCP and send IndirectQuery packets to the
               specified host.

What you want is -indirect
