According to this (and checked a couple other sites), they have.

There's another twist to the new rules. If a team decides to pull off an onside kick to start overtime and they recover, the receiving team will have been considered to have their chance to possess the ball. That means if you pull off an onside kick and score (field goal or touchdown), the game is over.
I assume the same interpretation would apply if this was the kick post opening possession FG.
