No, default is false.

Check lightdm --show-config which will show you from where the variables
are set (to a different value than the default):

root at scapa:~# lightdm --show-config
   [SeatDefaults]
A  greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
B  greeter-hide-users=false
A  session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession

Sources:
A  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf
B  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
