Not automatically. Kanzaki was born with supernatural abilities and is considered a magician and not an esper.

And Tuschimikado was a magician before he became an esper by going through the Curriculum process.

The categories of esoteric capability seem to be.
1. Some people are born with an Esper ability. Like Accelerator appears to have done.
2. Some people are born Saints. Like Kanzaki.
3. Some people can become Magicians. Like Style and Tuschimikado.
4. Some people can develop an Esper ability. Like Tuschimikado or Ruriko Saten.
5. Some people are angels or angel like beings. Gabriel and Hyouka.

Just because Touma was born with his ability doesn't mean he's automatically an esper. He could be a Saint . He could be something else the way Aisa appears to be.
