I think so. ;-)  We get a blank line for output of rows in -x:

        $ psql -X -d postgres -c 'select * from pg_class where 1=1' -x
        ...
        relispopulated | t
        relreplident   | n
        relfrozenxid   | 0
        relminmxid     | 0
        relacl         | {postgres=arwdDxt/postgres,=r/postgres}
        reloptions     |
-->     
        $

and for no rows without -x:

        $ psql -X -d postgres -c 'select * from pg_class where 1=0'
         relname | relnamespace | reltype | reloftype | relowner | relam | 
relfilenode | ...
        
---------+--------------+---------+-----------+----------+-------+-------------+-...
        (0 rows)
-->     
        $

and when we return rows without -x:

        $ psql -X -d postgres -c 'select * from pg_class where 1=1'
        ...
        s,=r/postgres}  |
         user_mappings                           |        12086 |   12359 |     
    0 |  ...
        (311 rows)
-->     
        $
