please report back when you have that info!

if you've explicitly pointed $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the address of
gpg-agent's ssh-agent emulation socket [0], and you have public key
authentication enabled in ssh, and use it to talk to a peer that offers
public key authentication, then yes, it should do so.

[0] typically  /run/user/$(id -u)/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh

But if you don't want to use gpg's ssh-agent emulation, you simply
shouldn't point SSH_AUTH_SOCK to it.
