No.

One request is handled by one location. The request for /about.php
will be handled by the "php" regex location, which doesn't (currently)
include try_files.

http://nginx.org/r/location

Untested, but probably either:

copy the try_files line into the "php" regex location; or

move the "php" regex location to be within the "location /" block

should do what you want in most cases.

("most" because: what do you want to happen when the request is for
"/assets/cache/absent.php", or for "/assets/cache/present.php"? The two
options above will do different things.)

Good luck with it,
