If they can see the file, in Subversion, they can see all the old
relevant revisions from that repository. They may not be able to see
*other* files if you have access to them blocked in Apache or svnserve
managed access.

It's also vaguely feasible that if you used svn+ssh based access, the
relevant "svn" user could be made not a member of the appropriate
groups to see that old revision at all. But this would get *nasty*,
very quickly, It would be like replacing the command "rm" with
something that moves files aside. It would work until it broke,
*badly*.
