Libvlc and omxil

does unbuntu-mate 16.04.02 for the Pi (3) release VLC compiled with omxil (accelerated)? I beieve it does , so does this mean a call to the libvlc.libvlc_new() API function, passing argument “–avcodec-hw=any”, mean that omxil will be used?

EDIT: mmal for decoding, omxil for encoding - should have clarified that one!
