Not likely.

Are you sure the gauge is properly connected to the motor ? Got the right
washer between the banjo and the oil filter head ? There are two different
washers there ...
If there was oil coming out of the rockers, then the engine had at least
some oil pressure. If nothing showed on the gauge, I would guess that
either the gauge is not connected, the line is blocked somehow, or the gauge
itself is bad.
