    That would be incorrect
    It's just both объём and обьём are correct pronunciations, so noone will say that one is incorrect while the other is correct. That's what makes "no difference" not the sound

    But can you tell if a person says a hard or a soft sound in this word?

    Yes, if you listen closely. I've actually tried it myself before posting

    Ехал Грека через реку;
    Видит Грека в реке рак.
    Сунул Грека руку в реку ;
    Рак за руку Греку "цап"!
