No. That's not self-leveling. That's just your adjusting screws.

I don't know if automatic self-leveling is required in the US like it is in Europe for HID-equipped vehicles, but ever vehicle I can think of with OEM HIDs has some sort of automatic leveling system to compensate for when the vehicle is loaded. The most common method is from a self-leveling rear suspension. Many vehicles use airbags. My Cadillac CTS has Nivomat shocks to do the job. Some BMWs and other vehicles have sensors and servos on the headlight housings themselves that can sense when the vehicle's angle is shooting the lights too high and adjust the lights themselves.
