Yes, the camera can "see" the IR signals sent by the IR tower or RCX bricks.
If you look at the IR tower you'll notice that the signal flashes much lower
then the "window" in the mold. It would appear as though LEGO changed the
board around after the created the mold.
The VC documentation says that the 2.0 firmware is required on the brick and
other people have told me that it automatically installed the new firmware
for them. That was not the case for me and I had to manually update the
firmware myself.
