ECM does not block LOS at all.
It counteracts a select few pieces of equipment. On page 134 of TW, (and page 112-113 of BMM) the pieces of equipment are specifically listed.
It only affects those items. It affects nothing else.
LOS is mentioned because of how ECM works:
Let's say you're using Artemis IV. Your Line of Sight to your intended target traces through the ECM bubble of a hostile 'Mech. This means you lose the +2 bonus on the Cluster table, causing your attack to work just as if you'd brought no Artemis IV at all. Beyond that, you suffer no penalties. The attack proceeds normally, without the bonus.
Items not affected by ECM don't care whether you have ECM or not. They work normally.
