yes he is. Here's my opinion

1. Look at his outfit and hairstyle. He is definitely Gerard

2. Read the Hitchhiking Transcript

.....

Jim: Survivors at the back, listen to me!

Jim: If you want to survive, run and ride on the next train!

and then Encounter Transcript. Gerard is Jim's retrieve (or rescue) team Leader who help Jim escaping from hitchhiking.
 * Gerard: Answer me transportation team! This is retrieve team leader, Gerard. I just arrived at the place of contact.
 * Jim: (crackle) Welcome, Gerard. I'm Jim. We are also almost there.
