No. Auto-save files are encoded using Emacs's internal coding-system,
which makes the operation a lot more reliable and efficient (no need to
worry about the case where some char(s) can't be encoded, for example).

Just open the file with the right coding-system (typically, opening
"myfile" and then hitting M-x recover-this-file RET should do the
trick).
