If it's an airline with only one or two gates at an airport, or maybe an airplane type that can only use a specific gate (e.g. a widebody using the only widebody-capable gate at an airport), then maybe. Otherwise, that's probably false far more than it's true.
When I check my flight status a couple days before the flight, the assigned gate will change a half-dozen times before they finalize it for departure. Sometimes the arrival gate changes between touchdown and taxi-in.
At some airports, even the airlines don't use the same gates from day to day, let alone the same flights.
