NO, they wouldn't. You'd still need to hit 50 in order to access level 50+ areas.

Contrary to what you seem to think, making the story optional doesn't mean there can't be an Elezen standing at the gate to Ishgard who says, "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't let you in yet!"

They've level-gated content in pretty much EVERY themepark MMO to date without needing to make the story mandatory.

And saying this is to circumvent RMT is a piss-poor excuse when RMT runs goddamn rampant through this game anyway.
