ChromeOS does not use X, though X can run on the devices. Chromium is actually providing it's own compositor and windowing system. The plugin they are getting rid of the is the Chrome-only Pepper API based plugin that for some reason is unavailable on the current Samsung ARM Chromebook.

The blob that you compile against the pepper api is native code. So they would need to recompile the blob for ARM as well as x86. Whether or not this is actually hard for their codebase, I have no idea.

This is incorrect: the default UI runs on X.
