What you draw around and on top of the LibVLC video window is the realm of your application. LibVLC has nothing to do with it.

I assume the stuff I want to draw will have to use opengl. Is that the case still?

Look to https://github.com/RSATom/QmlVlc and https://github.com/RSATom/QmlVlcDemo and http://WebChimera.org/ then.
WebChimera is based on QmlVlc and thus all you can see in demos section on WebChimera site could be done with QmlVlc too.
