No, and yes. Yes for a storm, but no for a regular cloaked ship with stealth armor or a cloaking device.

If two ships are in a storm and one has sensors cabale of defeating the storm, it can attack the ship that does not. In fact it cannot avoid attacking the ship if they are in the same sector. I had an unarmed sensor ship get killed in a nebula this way once. He couldn't see me but he got lucky and moved into the same sector as my ship. My ship "attacked", but since it had no weapons and his did, and once in combat he could see me, well...

But if your ship has a cloaking device or stealth armor you can be in the same sector with an enemy and will not, in fact CANNOT attack unless you decloak first.
