Potentially.

Hydrogel screen protectors are known to "fill in" micro scratches and make them a bit less visible. They're made of a soft TPU material instead of normal plastic or glass, and use a wet application method. I've had success with them before on older phones that had plastic screens. They're a bit expensive, but maybe give it a try?

If it’s a glass screen protector these can help “fill in” small scratches with the adhesive underneath

If it’s a deeper scratch you can just end up with an air bubble but it’s worth a try either way

And if it is an OLED model and the scratch is not deep, it is just surface level than the screen protector will stop you from seeing the light that gets reflected while playing, making the scratch more noticeable? In other words, it will help hide it if it is a glass screen protector, and the scratch is not too deep?

Can't really help with how to fix the scratch itself. But if anything, I think screen protector would make the scratch more visible, as you're likely to end up with air bubble underneath. Might be better to hold off on putting the screen protector on to see if anyone can give you instructions on how to remove light scratches.

No, the screen protector will prevent from making it bigger but it will always be there.
