not really, he's getting Being, Dasein and Das Man sort of mixed up.

some of what he is saying about Being being brought into existence by action would also be misleading, i think. heidegger distinguishes between thought which conceals and that which does not. no doubt JBP would like a lot of stuff that heidegger says about the need to become an authentic or resolute individual, tho. there's parts of S&Z that would be much more appropriate for the point he is trying to make.

a lot of the stuff that JBP writes about being a neomarxist drone or last man were things that heidegger explained quite well in terms of Das Man, anxiety, finitude, and other things. but to some degree it also demands a surrender or at least a serious readjustment of the concept of free will if it is only going to lead in the end to more concealment, more metaphysics of production, or more transforming of the world into standing-reserve for reasons that we do not understand.

>Being is something that is brought into existence by action

this is why H spent so much time writing on this, but it's not something to be quickly glossed over, because you can bring a lot of things into the world that have nothing to do with what Heidegger was thinking about. it's why for H most action is actually the forgetting of Being and not anything approaching Being itself.

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If aclodbe washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
