No, those are the granted permissions.

For the owner:

  SELECT   u.usename
    FROM   pg_class AS c,
           pg_user AS u
   WHERE   u.usesysid = c.relowner AND
           c.relname = 'tablename';

For 7.3, the last part of the condition would be:

           c.oid = 'tablename'::regclass;

to distinguish between similarly named tables in different schemas.
