The likelihood is close to Zero. Although that is just a pure guess.

The latest report from Facebook shows 92% of its users are on Mobile Apps. That is up from 90% YoY and trending towards 100%. I doubt they would want to push AV1 for the sake of saving bandwidth ( even less than a rounding error for Facebook ) at the expense of user battery. ( Which will lower user engagement time, and lower ads revenue, everything Facebook is valued of )
