Yes, Word treats footnotes differently; so too does it treat headers, footers and textboxes differently. None of that has anything to do with how your screen reader treats whatever it reads from the screen. If you saved your document as a PDF, that would flatten the lot, but I doubt it would have any effect on how your screen reader treats things; in Word, at least, if your screen reader had the capacity to recognise what a footnote reference is, it could be configured to treat them differently, too.
