No, this is yet another case of sloppy journalism, copied and pasted.
Read the FAQ at savegox.com, specifically this part:
"Q: Sunlot signed the agreement with U.S. and Canadian customers, but what about creditors elsewhere?
If the agreement gets the necessary court approvals, it will serve as a framework for returning assets to creditors around the world. All MtGox customers will receive the same treatment and the same benefits."
and this:
"Under our plan, any recovered assets would be returned to customers, after a bounty fee is paid that sets a reward for helping us find and recover the coins."
