Probably not. Besides outright missing assets (waterfalls for example), certain stuff used Xbox-specific tricks. And there's probably not going to be time budgeted to emulate FX from nvidia hardware over to AMD hardware. They're basing it off the PC codebase.

I'm willing to bet Halo 2 classic mode loses the original Xbox effects too, like the light bleed effect, that were missing in Halo 2 PC.

It's probably similar to how every port of Resident Evil 4 is missing the GameCube fx on models, ec on every platform except for the Wii because they weren't given the time or budget to emulate the GCN fx, but the Wii version had them because the Wii literally has GameCube hardware in it.
