YesNo, it is not really a "proprietary" algorithm. Of course every developer implements it in his/her/their way. It is the well-documented A* algorithm in bidirectional mode with Osmand's extensive priority and penalty extensions, but in an open-source application, so not really proprietary. It could be copied by anyone (if you understand the code as it is pretty complex) and put inside another app or a java applet on a website. But as far as I know it is not used anywhere on the web.
