Possibly, but just because there is a lot of scattered evidence for salt being used in religious/ritualistic ways over the ages, doesn't mean it was important everywhere for that reason and at every time.
I like the article for sticking to the textual evidence we have and concluding "we don't know" instead of speculating.
However if you have anything concrete on the religious meaning of salt in Ancient Rome that would be interesting.
