Of course not, since defaultValues is just an Array that will be parsed by
the plugin functions. Taking a look at the PHP code shows there's no stdWrap
property for "defaultValues", so you simply can't fill in any data using the
getText method even if you try using a workaround with a TEXT element.

if there is no
defaultValues.dataWrap = {GPvar:whatever}
there will be no
defaultValues.cObject = TEXT too

which means: It's impossible unless you change the PHP code of the plugin to
accept stdWrap properties here. It would be good practice if the developers
would always add stdWrap to any of their properties, but unfortunately most
of them don't ...
