Yes, according to my dictionary the active form of "reflect" can also mean "to be reflected" such that both of these are possible:
The sunlight reflected off your phone and blinded me.
Your phone reflected the sunlight, which blinded me.
And the passive is possible as well:
The sunlight was reflected by your phone and blinded me.
The sunlight reflected off your phone and blinded me.
Your phone reflected the sunlight, which blinded me.
And the passive is possible as well:
The sunlight was reflected by your phone and blinded me.
