Yes it would. That green LED just indicates that the board is getting power and is in the ready state. Manufacturers started putting them in so repair techs could quickly see if the power was still on before working on the board or components.
That light comes first in the MB's power logic circuit. You can't even activate the circuit at the PWR pins if that light is not on. So CPU in or out should not matter.
