No, RawInput would be written on top of the win32 HID level. It has not been implemented but should not be too hard once the win32 HID level is in place as RawInput is pretty close to just raw HID. 

My first HID test program was actually a RawInput test program that I just made very minor modifications to make it use hid.dll instead.
