Yes, it is automatically declined if the call is made during or after
the pass.

Here are the relevant extracts from the rules
(http://wol.ra.phy.cam.ac.uk/buf/wfdf/96rulult.htm#404.16).


404.16 Violations:

C. Traveling: Any journey by a player while in possession of the disc
which is in violation of these rules constitutes a travel and is not
permitted.

1.At all times a thrower must keep all or part of the pivot foot in
contact with the single point on the field established as the pivot
point. Whenever the thrower loses contact with that point, he has
traveled. 


404.17 Stoppage of Play:

B. Play Continuation Rule:

1.If a foul, violation or pick is called while the disc is in the air,
play continues until possession of the disc is gained. 
                    
2.If the team who would receive the benefit of the call gains possession
as a result of a pass committed prior or during the time the call was
made, play shall continue unhalted. It is the responsibility of the
player who made the call to call out, "Play on," to indicate that this
rule has been invoked.
