No it will not do that.

It will ask you to insert it in the other changer. I think you will
not have this problem if you use different pools for each changer and
make sure you do not put media from the wrong pool in a changer. Also
I do not think you will be able to use the scratch pool to add new
tapes to other pools when needed.
