Yes and no. This is a PHP Fatal Error, which will cause execution to stop. But the compiler doesn't compile the entire file in the same way you'd see with other languages. Any code in a PHP file _before_ the type error will still execute just fine, but when the PHP engine hits the error it will fatal and throw a TypeError (along with a stack trace, depending on the verbosity of your configuration).
