Does it do complicated redirects?

I have some URLs from my old Joomla site that need redirecting. It’s too complicated to do with htaccess. With this plugin, do I simply input the old and new URLs and it will work? For example, an old url had this in it ?layout=grid and to make that kind of rule work in htaccess, the host had to add RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)layout=grid($|&) (whatever the F that means) So the question is, do I have to deal with all this complicated crap, or can I simply input the old and new URLs?
