GOTO is deterministic. It will go to the record you indicate.

Using SKIP or other movement operation will honor the DELETED() flag.

VFP9 help includes this:
Note:
GOTO [RECORD] nRecordNumber works with physical records. Thus, it ignores SET DELETED or SET FILTER settings. If the specified physical record number exists in the table, the system moves the pointer to the record. This occurs even if that record has been marked for deletion or may be marked for exclusion by any filter in effect on the table. However, GOTO TOP/BOTTOM works with logical record positions. Therefore, you must respect the SET DELETED, SET FILTER and SET ORDER settings."
