If you mean strlen from the C standard library, then yes.
Moreover, the C strlen does not apply to Lua strings because
Lua strings can have embedded zeros.

If you mean strlen from the Lua string library, now called string.len, then
string.len written on top of lua_strlen.

By all means, use lua_strlen.
