Not necessarily. You are assuming that a non-Cisco router can't run "cisco" LMI. Almost every router vendor supports Cisco LMI. Just not Cisco encapsulation.
Technically, "Cisco" LMI was developed by Nortel anyway. :) So bottom line is your LMI must match whatever your frame switch has configured (most likely Cisco), and that has no effect whatsoever on the end to end traffic flow.
