No, only symlinks and directories can be hidden. That's a design
decision to prevent the gobohide list from growing too much due to
misuse and causing a noticeable performance impact on file system
operations.

If you really need to hide files then you will need to remove the
following lines from fs/gobohide.c before compiling the kernel:

-   /* We only support symbolic links and directories */
-   if (hide->inode && !S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) && !S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode)) {
-       error = -EINVAL;
-       goto out;
-   }

And then you will also have to remove lines 119 and 120 in gobohide.c
from the user space Gobohide utility:

-                if (!S_ISDIR(stats.st_mode))
-                        err_quit (1, dir);
