No, has more to do with the view that the US is in charge of the World. I'm not talking about the de facto leader, but rather that without our leadership the World will fail. Other Presidents have certainly thought it, but the people Bush surrounded himself with sure didn't have a problem saying it.
The Nobel prize is certainly a bit of a novelty all things considered, but I do give Obama props for how well he spoke about it when he made his remarks. It's not like he asked for it.
