No, the used library depends on the image-type, i.e.

(create-image "foo.png" 'imagemagick)

    vs.

(create-image "foo.png" 'png)

 

That is when you program, but when you merely use emacs to browse files

with dired, or when some package generates and load images (preview-latex), 

defaults are used. And the default is that imagemagick supersedes png and jpeg.
