Yes, Power Steering is affected if your engine stalls. Most modern vehicles use hydraulic power steering systems that rely on the engine to pump fluid, so when the engine stalls, the power assist is lost. This makes steering significantly heavier and more difficult, especially at low speeds. In vehicles with electric power steering, the system may also become inactive if the engine is not running.
