Yes. Viliam is assuming that if you actions correspond to an non-deterministic physics, it is “randomness” rather than you who are responsible for your actions. But what would the world look like if you were responsible for your actions? Just because they are indeterminate (in this view) does not mean that there cannot be statistics about them. If you ask someone whether he wants chocolate or vanilla ice cream enough times, you will be able to say what percentage of the time they want vanilla.
Which is just the way it is if the world results from non-deterministic physics as well. In other worlds the world looks exactly the same. That is because it is the same thing. So there is no reason for Viliam’s conclusion that it is not really you doing it; unless you were already planning to draw that conclusion no matter the facts turned out to be.
