I don't think so, they're using the screens for docking too according to their own site. [0] You can do the same basic task the pilot would be doing during a manual approach from what I think is Waypoint 1 (meaning Dragon is in front of the ISS pointed mostly towards it). You can see the actual text on the buttons here [1] and they're all critical system tasks like power cycling the controllers, aborts/emergency response commands, or manual triggers for things during landing.
