VideoLAN Chairman and lead VLC developer here.

No, because VLC for iOS was done by the Mac guys of VLC, while the Android port is done by Linux developers.

However, iOS and Android share a lot of code, and some work on iOS will be reusable on Android, especially the OpenGL ES 2 video output.

Glad to hear not all the time spent coding will go to waste :) I hope that vlc will still gain traction in the Android platform, you guys really deserve it. Thanks for all your hard work over the years to make the best video playing platform ever!
