I dont think so, because the compression occurs when the valves are closed -> no lift. The tool (pressure gauge) will hold the maximum pressure when you crank for 4 cycles and should be the same pressure for all cylinders
I think you only need to disconnect fuel pump (fuse/relay) and disconnect coil packs, remove the plug and put the tool and cranck for each cylinder
