According to https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/autonode/ it seems it's not compatible yet.

In Umbraco 8 you can use somehting like the following code to achieve want you want:

public class Component : IComponent
{
    public void Initialize()
    {
        ContentService.Published += ContentServiceOnPublished;
    }

    private void ContentServiceOnPublished(IContentService sender, ContentPublishedEventArgs contentPublishedEventArgs)
    {
        var publishedContent = contentPublishedEventArgs.PublishedEntities.FirstOrDefault();
        if (publishedContent != null && publishedContent.ContentType.Alias == "contentPage")
        {
            var componentsContent = sender.Create("Components Page", publishedContent.Id, "pageComponents");

            // if multilanguage
            componentsContent.SetCultureName("Components Page", "en-US");

            sender.SaveAndPublish(componentsContent);
        }
    }

    public void Terminate()
    {

    }
}

Then you can register your custom component with a composer. See: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Implementation/Composing/ for getting started with Umbraco composing.
