Seems so, but the situation is generally unclear. This is what the Ars Techica article says about it:
> In the years since that post went live, the Disney-helmed Lucasfilm Games has been more generous about helping its most venerable alumni re-release original games with minimal interference, and the company also increased its efforts to put its biggest properties in the hands of new developers. [...] Gilbert hasn't said what deal he struck with LucasArts' rightsholders, but it's arguably good enough to make him eat some very famous "not making another Monkey Island" words.

Maybe complete control of the IP is more than he needs, just assurances that he can direct the game as he sees fit.
- jonny_eh 5y agoI imagine it's creative control at least over the game he's signed on to develop. Probably the most anyone could ask for from Disney.
