No, the only user-specific data that is sent to and from a pool and worker are the worker credentials (username / password). No hardware or PC info is sent.
The only way to guess who on a pool has an ASIC is to look for any 60GH/s workers coming online. If someone pops online tomorrow with 180GH/s, it would be assumed that they have 3 ASICs, as it would be damn expensive to do so otherwise.

Where can we find these kinds of stats? I am curious to know approximately how many ASICs are in the world mining right now, if any.
And I believe most of Avalon batch 1 (300 units) are out, as well as 6 TH or so from ASICMINER.
For example, this page is the list of top miners at BTC Guild, currently the pool with the highest overall network hashrate: http://www.btcguild.com/index.php?page=rankings
