Not necessarily. Just the fact that they are looking at it far more often means that they pick up on subtle things and notice it more easily.
For instance we could do an experiment:
Day 1 - You are taken to a room with 60 random people and are given 5 minutes to remember their faces.
Day 2 - One of those 60 people from Day 1 is added to a group of 59 new people and you are asked to pick out which one person you saw the day before.
Most likely you wouldn't be able to do it where as someone who was friends with all 60 people from day 1 would instantly recognize their friend and get it right every time. Being familiar with an object or person means you will recognize more details about it but not necessarily that you are more perceptive than anyone else.
The gamers who notice these differences are primarly gamers playing games with poor or no motion blur at sub-60 FPS rates, especially fast paced games like Unreal Tournament etc..
edit: PS - To be perfectly clear I only have minor issues with the substance of what the author of that article wrote, his conclusion is where my biggest problem is at but I think that may have been a function of the article being somewhat outdated.
