Yes, this "=> receiver" notation is the default because Gnus thinks that
you know your name and email address and thus it is not interesting to
you.

See the manual:

,----[ (info "(gnus)To From Newsgroups") ]
| 3. The ‘gnus-ignored-from-addresses’ variable says when the ‘%f’
|      summary line spec returns the ‘To’, ‘Newsreader’ or ‘From’ header.
|      If this regexp matches the contents of the ‘From’ header, the value
|      of the ‘To’ or ‘Newsreader’ headers are used instead.
| 
|      To distinguish regular articles from those where the ‘From’ field
|      has been swapped, a string is prefixed to the ‘To’ or ‘Newsgroups’
|      header in the summary line.  By default the string is ‘-> ’ for
|      ‘To’ and ‘=> ’ for ‘Newsgroups’, you can customize these strings
|      with ‘gnus-summary-to-prefix’ and ‘gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix’.
