This sounds like you're talking about ReCAPTCHA, which is something different than the PCRE thing. But yes, bots will get by reCAPTCHA. To answer your original question, you can use that in addition to this mod, but you really should use "question and answer" human verification with some simple questions instead of reCAPTCHA.

I just installed 10 minutes ago and haven't got and email from your Hack or a post in a designated thread; yet. We usally have 20 to 50 Bots and hour; so I'm wondering if your Hack is stopping them and I'm not getting notified. I'll wait a bit longer and then maybe try a test or two.

That does sound like maybe something's wrong. It would be a good idea to do a test registration.
