I'm positive.  Also, NVIDIA doesn't require AIGLX to run compiz.

"Before running compiz for the first time, you should configure it to
your tastes. Again, there are several sites that cover configuring
compiz and its various plugins, so I will not cover that here. Note: an
exception is direct vs. indirect rendering: when using the NVIDIA
graphics driver, you do not need to use the --indirect-rendering option;
it limits the number of extensions exposed by the driver, disabling some
plugins (e.g. water)."
