If the transmitter has a refelction coefficient of zero and the load

in the output circuits and any final transistors or tubes.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the reflected current arrives out
of phase with the forward current, then the final dissipation can
actually be *reduced* by the mismatch.
