It's not mentioned in our lists so: probably no.

"TWAIN"-compliant doesn't mean anything. It's not a scanner standard
but a software interface standard. You still need a TWAIN driver for

Start writing a backend (=driver). This is not a joke. Drivers for
(older) SCSI scanners are usually easier than for the newer dumb USB
devices.
