Yes, quite possibly.

VLC (both 2.1.4, and the latest "git") is almost able to play the video track (video show up, but is mostly artifacts/garbage).  The Opus audio track doesn't play at all in 2.1.4, but does play OK in the latest "git" version.

Not for me on Mac OS X.  The latest git version ("Version 2.2.0-git Weatherwax (Intel 64bit)") built/run on Mac OS X doesn't play it (without mostly artifacts/garbage).  So, the problem might be platform-specific?
