Will a random SOCKS5 proxy see my host’s public IP when using a Whonix gateway in VirtualBox?

If I have a Whonix gateway running in VirtualBox (NAT + Whonix internal network) and a Linux workstation (also on the Whonix internal network), the gateway is updated with the default settings, and the workstation is configured with

  • IP address: 10.152.152.50

  • Subnet mask: 255.255.192.0

  • Default gateway: 10.152.152.10

  • Preferred DNS server: 10.152.152.10

I start Firefox with FoxyProxy, then in FoxyProxy I set a completely random SOCKS5 IP:PORT and connect through that SOCKS proxy. Does this mean that the proxy I connect to will see me as the host (NAT), i.e., the public IP address of my host’s Internet connection? Please provide the information.
