I don't think so. They talk about how much the furthest objects are redshifted to near infrared so I think it's a visible-light picture all the way (as opposed to some which are composites of different wavelenghts mapped into visible colours).

My favorite quote

The HUDF observations began Sept. 24, 2003 and continued through Jan. 16, 2004. The telescope's ACS camera, the size of a phone booth, captured ancient photons of light that began traversing the universe even before Earth existed. Photons of light from the very faintest objects arrived at a trickle of one photon per minute, compared with millions of photons per minute from nearer galaxies.
1 photon per minute. How cool is that.
