Loading Screen Help

Would this code work for a loading screen:

[code]module(…, package.seeall)

function new()
local localGroup = display.newGroup()

local loadingscreen = display.newImage(“loadingscreen.png”)

function game()
– Code for game here
end

timer.performWithDelay(200, game(), 1)

return localGroup
end
[/code]
Would the game function load whilst the loading image was displayed, and then be displayed when the function was called, or would it load when the function was called?
