No, this is not a QR compatible, but I don't think it is too hard to design an alternative to QR, it is a deterministic and high contrast shape with well defined orientation.
In order to make it QR compatible it will be much uglier, QR needs to add error codes and things like that.
The goal here was only default profile pictures.
But maybe there are tricks that I am not aware of.
