Its the same concept as the bed of a pickup truck. the space in the bed is a low pressure area also because the wind stream from the roof passes over it and shoots down behind the tailgate. The same applies to the MR2 back half section, the wind goes over the roof and passes over the engine lid section, but that is where the low preasure area would stop. It would be disrupted when the engine lid section shrouding stopped. I would say that the spoiler does come into effect. See below:
