Yes, that is exactly what this is. You can run mris_preproc with --meas area and then continue with mri_glmfit just as if you were doing a thickness analysis.

Hi, I was interested in comparing surface area between two groups on a node-by-node basis (something like average area of the triangles touching each node) and noticed there were automatically-generated files named lh.area and lh.area.pial
I was wondering if these files contained the appropriate data for doing something like that, and if so whether there's any documentation you can recommend on how they are generated in Freesurfer.
Thanks,
