"PWM DC"? PWM by definition isn't DC. PWM generators even at maximum drive aren't 100% duty cycle (yes, effectively DC considering the response of the LED, but still not exactly DC).
Yes. PWM is a DC voltage with varying pulse widths. It never goes below 0V like AC.
BTW, Frank could have just used a transformer like <
