I'm looking to check and compare the collected lidar coverage against a given AOI. In other software's I have used the bounding box feature however FME boundingbox transformer looks to only create rectangular bounding boxes. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hi @mackenziebudda,
I believe the HullReplacer is the transformer you're looking for. It will give you the extents of your lidar data. I know there have been issues with this transformer in the past and not sure of the current status or FME version you're using. - See https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/51852/lidar-las-extents-hullaccumulator-and-hullreplacer.html.
Otherwise, @takashi provides a suitable work around in the thread link above using the PointCloudCoercer.
