No, An isolated gaseous atom is an lone atom by itself in space. ... It is because of this reason the term 'isolated gaseous atom' has been included in definition of ionisation enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy. The term 'ground state' here means that the atom must be present in the most stable state, i.e., the ground state.

No the isolated gaseous atom and ground state are not same things.The word itself means ionisation and ground state is the most stable thing.If an isolated gaseous atom is in it's ground state then less amount energy would be required to remove an electron from it.
