The builtin DLL is usually used in that case, as you would expect.
There are two details that can interfere:
1) if the Wine DLL is written to defer to the Windows one,
then the only way to avoid using the Wine one is to delete
the Windows one.  (And then some apps that expect a file
there will miss the fake one Wine used to have before you
overwrote it.)
2) If the Wine DLL had an sxs manifest, you'll need to restore
that.  The only one this happens for now is comctl32.
