Works for me ... just tried it with a new profile and Add-ons Manager lists it
as there and available
However, using about:plugins, and it lists it as being installed in the user
profile directory:
File: system-installed
Path:
/path/to/my/home/dir/.mozilla/firefox/profiledir/gmp-gmpopenh264/system-installed
Version: system-installed
State: Enabled
So I guess it gets copied in when you start Firefox ?
I did the above using the latest 52.2.0 release candidate for linux.x86_64
running on CentOS 7.3 downloaded from:
http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/52.2.0esr-candidates/build1/linux-x86_64/
My central autoconf cfg file has:
pref("media.gmp-gmpopenh264.autoupdate", false);
pref("media.gmp-gmpopenh264.enabled", true);
defaultPref("media.gmp-gmpopenh264.version", "system-installed");

This solution seems very promising, but unfortunately I wasn't able to
get it to work. Are you sure the directory is working for you without
any further changes?
I'll have a more detailled look at it tomorrow, but at least my first
impression from looking at
https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/esr52/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/GMPProvider.jsm#L152
is that GMP plugins other than "gmp-clearkey" will only be found in the
user profile. strace also seems to confirm this, as I can see no file
access to the .so files (or even the "system-installed" directory) there...
Maybe an interesting question in this regard: Are you using a
custom-built, Mozilla's or the distribution's Firefox packages? And in
the last case: Which Linux distribution are you using?
Thanks a lot,
