Not quite.  The intermediate will be signed by a Identrust, a root that is already in the browsers (but not in the default Java8 trust store).  It will take significantly longer for the ISRG root itself to become trusted, although that process is starting.

Disclaimer: I'm pretty involved in this stuff. :)
