Yes – besides offering ease of access and a guaranteed leak-proof door (for both inward & outward opening doors), all Walk-in Bath models are rigorously tested & the leak-proof seals are airtight. For doors which open inwards (where bathroom space may be restrictive), the water pressure also adds more pressure to the seal.
