Correct, but it can increase the ERP or effective radiated power which is more relevant in path loss calculations.

The same applies to legitimate signal from your own devices.

An omnidirectional aerial in an ideal world has a circular radiation pattern when viewed from directly above.
When viewed from the side, it's a circular lobe shape.
