No. Mesa's "drivers" are either a software fallback or support infrastructure for some open-source drivers. When you're using AMD or Nvidia's proprietary drivers, which are way faster, then you're not using anything interesting from Mesa. EDIT: Also Mesa's open source Radeon driver came from AMD.

In the case of AMD, the open-source driver comes from AMD itself. The proprietary driver replaces Mesa, but builds on top of the same kernel portion.
