The OP is referring to a forecasted Vis, part of a TAF. This Visibility will be taken into account as we have no further details (TEMPO, BECMG, etc..) so we can assume it is the forecasted general visibility in the period covered by the TAF.
Worst case scenario Your CMV factor is 1.0, You’re above the required RVR of 550m.
