No, only the scenes they changed--they only needed to scan the shots that had stuff added to them. The altered shots were then printed back onto film, and re-spliced into the negative, replacing the originals. So, I would estimate about 30% of the OOT is in the computer--if it was kept at all. The negative that was scanned for the 2004 edition was the 1997 SE with the CGI, as the negative of the OOT no longer existed.

Of course, you could easily combine the 2004 scan with the original OOT scans from 1997 and edit together a virtual re-construction of the original negative--but thats one of those "work+money" things that Lucas does his best to avoid.
