Yes, after the events of Turboverse RWBY Volume 3, Raven learned about what happened at Beacon Academy and the unfortunate death of Pyrrha Nikos, her knowledge of the situation includes the following details:
Confirmation of Failure: For Raven, Pyrrha's death at the hands of Cinder Fall served as proof that Professor Ozpin would ultimately fail to protect his students. This reinforcing her decision to abandon his cause thought she never thought Beacon would survive thanks to Penny's temporal prevention which Raven isn't aware of.
The "Invincible" reputation and meeting: Raven was already familiar with Pyrrha’s popularity and reputation as the "Invincible Girl," With the scrapped scene of Volume 3, she did attack Team JNPR either out of borden or some rival hired her to take Pyrrha out of the Tournament.
A "Tragic Casualty": While the Atlas Military and the survival of Penny Polendina actually saved Beacon Academy in this timeline, Pyrrha’s death is regarded as the one tragic casualty of the battle.
The Missing Context: While she knows Pyrrha died, Raven remains unaware that it was Pyrrha's specific choice to stay behind and fight Cinder alone to protect her friends despite the odds; she views it primarily as a failure of Ozpin's leadership.
The Reality (Confession): At the end of Spider-Man Clone-Mania: Grimmified, Pyrrha reveals that her decision to stay and fight was a conscious choice made out of love for her friends and Jaune. She saw it as an act of protection due to the deep connection of friendship
Conversely, Raven views the same event as a "confirmation of failure." Because she lacks the context of Pyrrha’s confession, she doesn't see a hero's sacrifice; she sees a student who was abandoned by a weak leader (Ozpin). For Raven, the fact that the "Invincible Girl" died is used as a shield to justify her own cowardice and her decision to quit being a Huntress, She uses the tragedy to argue that Ozpin's "pawns" are always doomed to fall hence why Yang cutted ties with her completely.
While Penny Polendina survived the battle in this timeline, Pyrrha’s death remains the one event Raven cities to prove that the war against is unwinnable. Though she's isn't aware of Pyrrha's Grimm Hybrid resurrection performed by Salem and Dr. Merlot in Spider-Man Clone-Mania: Grimmified, and what came after of Yang's own Grimmification which badly injured Raven in the process.
Raven’s Reaction to the Resurrected Pyrrha
Raven originally viewed Pyrrha’s death as proof of Ozpin's failure. Seeing Pyrrha return, not as a weak student, but as a formidable Were-Fox guardian shatters Raven's justification for her own cowardice in the fourth volume.
Raven is wary of the dangers Lycanthropy/Were-Creature transformations, even her own Were-Raven transformations. Seeing Pyrrha lead a successful hunt against Cinder proves to Raven that the Were-Creature is more effect to counter Salem’s Grimm corruption, another spark in Raven's early redemption arc.
