Sometimes, yes, and sometimes. But you only need one spammer to have unobfusticated an address before it starts finding its way onto lists for sale.
Further, I wouldn't use an obfusticator hosted on a third-party website where the obfustication code was on the server - they could be doing anything with the addresses (not saying these guys are, but do you remember the "What's my Mr T name?" quiz? Asked you for your date of birth, mother's maiden name, pet's name, and then gave you "Foo!" as your name. Lots of people filled that one out....)
