Short answer: yes.

Longer answer: It's a bit like the MCU in that superheroes are (mostly) only coming out for the first time in the modern age.

Mutants, magicians, and occult characters (vampires, weerewolves, etc.) are happening first, because these things have been around forever and are only now reaching the public eye. And since this is an X-Men story first, mutation will take center stage, though it and magic kind of go hand-in-hand. (In Joint Venture, there is no distinction between a "magical" hero like Doctor Strange and a "cosmic" hero like the Silver Surfer)

But the heroes created by manmade science, like the ones you speak of, are popping up, sometimes as a direct or indirect response to "the mutant problem," and sometimes in a completely unrelated incident. I plan to identify which is which as I create more articles. :)
