Yes but LVS uses different connection table optimized for
the client addresses.

The LVS forwarding methods are same in 2.2 and 2.4. LVS uses
only the Netfilter framework, i.e. the hooks but nothing from the
connection tracking. Currently, you can't run LVS with ip_conntrack.o
but this is still possible with ipchains.o!
