No!

Please check the migration instructions for profile 23 as provided in the news 
item.  You must follow the steps suggested in the order they are written *and* 
you must select the correct profile.  The profile you show above is split-usr, 
which was the default.  This is the traditional split-usr linux fs which has /
bin, /sbin, /lib and /lib64 as discrete directories under /, e.g.:

~ # tree -L 1 /
/
├── bin
├── boot
├── dev
├── etc
├── home
├── lib
├── lib64
├── lost+found
├── media
├── mnt
├── opt
├── proc
├── root
├── run
├── sbin
├── sys
├── tmp
├── usr
└── var

20 directories, 0 files


The merged-usr fs structure has the aforementioned directories set as symlinks 
under /usr, e.g.:

~ # tree -L 1 /
/
├── bin -> usr/bin
├── boot
├── dev
├── etc
├── home
├── lib -> usr/lib
├── lib64 -> usr/lib64
├── media
├── mnt
├── opt
├── proc
├── root
├── run
├── sbin -> usr/bin
├── sys
├── tmp
├── usr
├── var
└── BackUps

20 directories, 0 files


Consequently, in following the migration instructions methodically and 
assuming you have a split-usr fs layout, you will need to change profile to:

 [49]  default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/no-multilib (stable)

rebuild your toolchain in the order and in the way suggested in the news item, 
then emerge @world with '--emptytree'.

If you want to convert the fs structure to a merged-usr layout after the 
migration to your new profile follow the instructions here:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Merge-usr

Assuming the --dryrun does not come up with any problems you then have to run 
emerge -uaNDv world, which will spit out which packages are affected by it - 
e.g. on one of my systems I see these candidates:
