No, it doesn't. 

Start with something that provides access to all the content with plain HTML. 
Apply JavaScript over the top of it to provide an enhanced experience. Make 
sure that the JS doesn't introduce problems for users of screen readers, screen 
magnifiers, non-pointer based input devices, etc and you are accessible.

You have to check the same things with CSS based solutions too. I've seen 
plenty of :hover based interfaces that have no keyboard fallback.

Take the second item on the list on the page you pointed to, for instance. When 
I focus the Clickbox Gallery link, a photo unexpectedly and jarringly pops up. 
I haven't found a way to navigate to the next/prev links that appear when I use 
a mouse, or found any other way to get access to the other images. So, despite 
being CSS 3 based and without JavaScript, a cursory glance at it leads me to 
conclude that it is highly inaccessible.
