well, not exactly. in an open differential, power is almost always routed to one side over the other, depending on actual length of axleshaft and or whether the ring gear is centered and all that sorta thing, not 100% clear on all that yet, but the reason you may feel some steering going on is that the front tires in a front wheel drive vehicle are the steering tires, when one gets power over the other, it will grip the road and pull forward. the other side isn't pulling yet and so the side with power tries to move forward, being held back by the other side and pulled over toward it, effectively steering the tire with the traction to the road, therefore, steering the vehicle. i get that in my econobox Suzuki Esteem. the driver's side pulls. in this case it isn't likely to cause a lot of steering.
