Yes and no. In pinciple you are right, but the rootvg might contain things you deem equally confidential - ssh keys in home directories, wallet files for databases, and similar things.
The procedure i described - export the VG, then zero out the first GB of each disk device of the VG - will work for datavgs too, of course. I just mentioned the rootvg, because this is usually the most complicated to delete. You have to "take away the floor you stand on", so to say.
Another option would be to over-install a fresh copy of the OS, so that all the old data get surely overwritten. This can easily be done remotely vin NIM (AIX) or kickstart.
I hope this helps.
