Yes, I suppose so. Isn't he meant to be something of an homage to Acererak anyway, though? The sidebar in the MM says that "Acererak or another demilich like him" (my emphasis) can have the Trap Soul action.Wouldn't that make Kazit Gul as powerful as Acererak in Tomb of Horrors?
Kazit Gul did build the Doomvault. It was originally his lair. And it's even bigger than the Tomb of Horrors, so why couldn't he be like Acererak?
The main reason I'm thinking he ought to have the Trap Soul action is this bit:
The gems that contain souls gleam with inner light. If such a gem is crushed, the soul is released. The soul departs for the afterlife unless its body is intact and within 10 feet of the crushed gem.
Souls only remain trapped in a demilich's gems for 24 hours, at which point they are devoured. So unless he's just fed on some other creatures before the PCs fight him, the above quote is most likely referring to if any of the PCs or their allies get their souls trapped in Gul's teeth gems.
