Yes, it can occur any time the throttle is closed, but there is a few seconds delay, so it is seen most often going down a hill as opposed to just lifting the throttle on the flat. It just doesn't depend on the torque converter lock up, that can be open or locked. It happens all the time with our MT vehicles, and they don't have torque converters, let alone lockups.
