Yes, but GS Mini minimises the need for big thrust changes.
A positive gust increases your IAS, but the Vapp target increases as well. Only a small thrust increase should be required to compensate for the extra headwind.
A negative gust decreases your IAS, but the Vapp target decreases as well.
I think that misd-agin is referring to the A/THR overcorrecting in gusty conditions. Which it does. With the risk of reducing or adding too much power just before or during the flare.
