No, 28 Vdc for the igniters comes off the hot battery bus (igniter power available from the hot battery bus is a common design feature on Boeings, although on most the igniter power only drops to the battery bus when the main AC bus goes down). The whole reason they used DC for the igniters on the 787 is so they wouldn't need that current going the a DC to AC inverter.
