No, it isn't displayed then, the mini-window is cleared.

You can see in the doc string of minibuffer-message that it displays
the message for some time, or until some input event arrives.  Then
the message is cleared.

Why do you need to get at the text shown by minibuffer-message?  For
what purpose?  That function specifically exists to show temporary
messages, so the text is ephemeral, it goes away as soon as the user
types something.
