I believe so. In a very limited way.

No.

PCSX2 is not dolphin.

Not to over step as i am not a dev, so feel free to correct me. But AVX probably does not offer any additional benefits in emulating the GC/Wii Cpu/GPU while in PCSX2 it only offers a few things for the interpreter only, So you only get a small speed up, and only in software mode.

I'm not sure about the interpreter. Do you have a reference? Anyway, AVX plugin only provides speed ups for the software renderer of GSDX. http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/GSDX

No. He didn't mention GSDX. People who never used PCSX2 wouldn't know. GSDX is the most popular GPU plugin but it's not the only one.
