No.
Only the widgetset independent LCL properties are set. The LCL
interfaces then reads/sets the widgetset properties.

fpgui needs published properties when you want to edit components
visually. At the moment lazarus has designers for lcl TFrame, lcl
TForm and fcl TDataModule. Maybe someday you want to add a designer for
fpgui forms. hint, hint ;)
The object inspector, property editors and component editors work with
TComponent, so they already work with fpgui forms/controls.
