I think His words/statement ' you are gods' was directed to those to whom the word of God came'. If we look at,
John 10:34-36 (ESV)
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— 36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

Yes I think so. He was speaking to the Jewish Lawmakers who'd recieved 'The word of God'... Mybe He was warning them not to abuse the power of office they held as they will also be judged..
A Psalm of Asaph. "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods."
