Sure, yes. In regard to any (currently) unfalsifiable/untestable proposition such as "Our reality was caused by an intelligence", no one can know the answer. So you could argue that everyone is an agnostic.
However, it doesn't stop people claiming to be gnostic. For a lot of theists, this seems to be important to them. And even some atheists.
A person could say they are a gnostic for all practical purposes. The difference between the actions of a professed agnostic strong atheist and a professed gnostic strong atheist are likely to be very minimal.
(Here I use strong atheist to mean someone who actively believes there is no God.)
