Not for all launchers. It's enabled by default for select titles but should work with everything using standard Win32 controls.
Previously it was only enabled for select titles, with this update they have it enabled by default for all titles.
Anything that has win32 controls should now have controller support on the launcher window if you have proton experimental as your compatibility layer.
