Far as I know no though the game has some AMD extensions and others for NVIDIA and general Khronos ones including HDR but it lacks the FreeSync AMD Vulkan extensions mentioned on AMD's blog for how to set up HDR on Vulkan for AMD devices.
https://gpuopen.com/using-amd-freesync-premium-pro-hdr-code-samples/

VK_EXT_HDR_METADATA_EXTENSION_NAME – allows us to query and set HDR display formats for our swap chain.

VK_AMD_DISPLAY_NATIVE_HDR_EXTENSION_NAME – allows us to query and set FreeSync HDR display modes for our surface.

VK_EXT_FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_EXTENSION_NAME – allows our app to display in full screen exclusive which is required for FreeSync

The AMD native HDR one isn't something I can find in the game but the two others exist plus a few AMD and NVIDIA extensions like over commit on memory management for AMD and something I think it was geometry shader related for NVIDIA.

EDIT: Effectively DOOM Eternal and Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't do HDR on AMD GPU's although I can't check that myself this isn't a HDR capable display but from reading about it and all the complaints on how AMD's drivers don't support it and going back and forth between that and the games not supporting AMD ha ha.

Perhaps it's a bit of both. Vendor specific extensions for various solutions have their ups and downs depending on what gets implemented and required for features such as high dynamic range.

Though perhaps the above is more specific to (yet another.) HDR attempt that being FreeSync(2) HDR like what NVIDIA had early on with NVAPI HDR in a few titles before Microsoft (Kinda.) got it together and implemented better support directly into Windows 10 itself over a few builds.

Support is still wonky in games though D3D or low-level API, Ori for another recent example though SpecialK recently allowed for getting it working but that won't help Vulkan or D3D12 cases.
