Correct.  OpenVPN does not do anything in particular with the hardware side.
There is a --engine option, but for AES-NI that is not needed; with OpenSSL
it's automatic and should ideally be the same with mbed TLS.  But whether mbed
TLS plans for such support (I don't recall they've implemented it yet), that
is entirely up to them.  When it arrives in mbed TLS chances are high it will
just work with OpenVPN.
