Another diffuser question...

If a diffuser isn't equipped with a check valve to prevent water from leaching up the air supply line, will a check valve installed at the pump prevent this from happening?

Obviously, a check valve is installed to prevent excess back pressure, but does it matter where in the system it's located?
