Yes it does, but you have to load dired-x first somehow. You may 
considered it a bug in the old version of dired-x that 
dired-omit-files-p wasn't declared with :require 'dired-x or had an 
autoload cookie. Anyway, you had to load dired-x before the 
custom-set-variables call, just as with the new version of dired-x. So 
in this respect, nothing is changed.

Try

(progn
 (require 'dired-x)
 (custom-set-variables '(dired-omit-files-p t))
 dired-omit-files-p)

or

(progn
 (custom-set-variables '(dired-omit-files-p t nil (dired-x)))
 dired-omit-files-p)

Both return t as expected.
