Bikes: a lowrider BMX, a mountain bike, a faired recumbent, and a loaded touring bike

I recently converted my BMX bike into a three speed. I was able to find a Stumey Archer hub at a good price.
I kept the crankset the same.
But what I wanted to say is, the BMX crankset does NOT have the usual square taper bottom bracket.
It has a Splined bottom bracket.
So you would be looking at replacing the BB , too?
