Close, but not quite.

multipath will not group together paths received from different
ASes. The reason being that BGP can only advertise one path.

If you setup BGP to accept path from different ASes, then as-path loop
detection is being defeated if this route is subsequently advertised
via BGP, as the forwarding path no longer corresponds to the routing
path.
