Depends on what the DHCPv6 server is configured to do.

AAC and DHCPv6 can assign addresses on the same prefix, but I would
suspect that in most deployments there is little reason to do that.
Instead, DHCPv6 would likely assign addresses on prefixes that are not
AAC.

More likley is that you have a unique local prefix that you allow AAC
for. But, for a global unicast address you need to go to DHCPv6. The
DHCPv6 server would *NOT* likely assign another unique local address for
that client.

Just because a prefix is advertised as AAC or not, does not imply
ANYTHING about what DHCPv6 would do for that prefix. Though in practice
there is little reason to use both AAC and DHCPv6 on that single prefix.
Though there may be good reason to do AAC on some prefixes and DHCPv6 on
others if multiple prefixes are active.
