Test Jira and Confluence app migrations to accountID

Hi,
We are testing the Confluence migration to accountID due to the GDPR regulation.

In this blog post it is suggested the following:

For Confluence Cloud REST API calls, whether you’re making the requests in your app or outside of an app, you will need to add the query parameter privacyMode=true to any request.

Do we need to add the query parameter also for the calls made with the AP.request API?

e.g.

   AP.require('request', function (request) {
        request({
            url: '/rest/api/user?accountId=' + accountId + "&privacyMode=true",
            success: function (responseText) {
                var response = JSON.parse(responseText);
                console.log("avatar URL" + response.profilePicture.path);
            },
            error: function (responseText) {

                console.log("error: " + responseText);

            }
        });
    });
