Yes, any short crack typically under an inch has exposed end grain, you cannot reglue end grain.

You can add glue to hide end grain breaks, but no strength exists in that repair area.

Strength is achieved by gluing long grain back together

Small end grain cracks for example on the face of the headstock are really irrelevant as there is no strength actually required in this area, its decorative more than anything else.
