There's possibilities there. But how would he have produced it or designed it? Nero was mentioned as the one who reconstructed/improved Ultima weapon, and he's been accounted for during Stormblood. He could have designed it for him during Heavensward...but that'd be a little weird with no buildup right? Not to mention that Gaius seemingly has very little in the way of resources at the moment. He was considered a traitor even before the XIV legion was destroyed, and both he and Nero are 'arrest on sight' in Garlemald.
