No, it doesn't. See here:
https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/master/akka-persistence/src/main/scala/akka/persistence/journal/PersistencePluginProxy.scala#L26

Note that it only works for the default plugin (null). I think there are
other places in the PersistencePluginProxy where it only works for the
default plugin.
