Basically yes.
In order that this will work with V4 profiles in the same way, it is
necessary, that either the illuminant of the src and dst profile is the
same (e.g. both profiles made for D50 illuminant, or both for D65
illuminant), or that your "absolute rendering" refers to the
(illuminant-relative) ICC-absolute intent, not to the "traditional" one.
