I think that is more-or-less the idea, yes - though you can drop the "necessarily ".
Don't judge the play by the first few seconds.
The reason I put in "necessarily" is because it seems like Will Newsome's anthropic argument requires that the universe was designed specifically for interesting stuff to happen. If it's not close to inevitable, why didn't the designer do a better job?
Maybe there's no designer. Will doesn't say he's 100% certain - just that he thinks interestingness is "Bayesian evidence" for a designer.
I think this is a fairly common sentiment - e.g. see Hanson.
