Possibly. But Aragorn was also the Chieftain of the Rangers; and even if Sauron had no idea that an heir of Isildur was alive, he must have been aware of the existence of the Rangers of Arnor. So it may be that the traps Aragorn refers to were set merely against the commander of the northern Dunedain, with no particular thought that he might be a claimant to Isildur's throne.
