Early LED bulbs didn't do a very good job with this and still flickered. But yeah, current ones run on regulated DC with decent filtering for no visible flicker. That said, dimmable LEDs are PWM (pulse width modulated) and are technically flickering all the time, just at a frequency WAY too fast for us to notice (on the order of several thousand times per second).
