No, as the list ICTS uses there in this way is for people they want to subject to additional screening and that it has had pre-selected before the passenger even shows up to talk to them. The list uses a combination of manual selection of passengers and automated or relayed selection of passengers.
Ending up like the OP did is more commonly a product of anything but a completely random hit, no less so when the ICTS software is involved. Once selected in this way by ICTS, the probability of getting selected again in the future is higher than for the average passenger on the same flight with no such ICTS-flagging history.
The ICTS stickers are mainly there to show that a person has been personally questioned and cleared by an ICTS employee.
There are separate lists to note all who has already been questioned, but that was separate from the list that got the OP the gate secondary.
