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.
