Sorta? Usually the idea is that the presence or absence of hardware determines the anthropic probability of being that conscious process, otherwise you would expect to be some random arbitrary Boltzmann brain-like conscious.
Also this is an immediate corollary of the mathematical universe hypothesis, which says our universe is a mathematical structure.
