No, the Java side of Guacamole does not communicate with the remote
desktop. It uses the Guacamole protocol to talk to guacd. Java support for
various ciphers will not have any impact on a remote desktop protocol being
able to use those ciphers.

Only the protocol support library, in this case libguac-client-vnc, talks
to the remote desktop. The various libguac-client-* are loaded by guacd
dynamically depending on the protocol needed by a connection. For
libguac-client-vnc, the connection to the VNC server leverages
libvncclient, and it is that library which would ultimately actually deal
with VNC over SSL, presumably using OpenSSL or a similar alternative.
