Yeah. For the A330 here is the sequence:

1-) Aircraft start decelerating.
2-) At Alpha Prot autopilot disengages.
3-) Aircraft start descending between Alpha Prot and Alpha Max.
4-) As you did not touch the thrust levers, the operating engine thrust is limited by the position of the lever in the CLB detent.
5-) Alpha floor is not activated, as it is inhibited above M 0.53 for the A330.

I repeat my question:
How about for the A320? In the same scenario, will alpha floor be activated?
