I think so as well I interpreted it as in a kind of "i know more than i am telling you" way. We saw in the flashback in cochlea that supposly hide told him more when we thought back then but it still doesnt explain how hide conveniently led kaneki into the arms of someone who was searching for a oek figure and that he has a chance to survive this etc.

furthermore Hide talked abt "one last time" probably very aware that kaneki is suicidal and im pretty sure Hide never planned on Kaneki not surviving this rather the opposite he planned it to make sure Kaneki somehow survived this against all the odds

and i think you can read the V14 fight as well bc kaneki only planned to prove himself with landing one hit and only used hide to push himself so far only to completly shut him out and giving up on his life in a monolog.

so there was a lot of things hide had to be nervous abt for sure, it rly depends on the way you perceive sth as a lie i personally wouldnt decribe it as lying but he isnt telling the truth either so ... he might have lied but i think he did it with the best intentions which is still questionable but so is everyone in tokyo ghoul (greatness of grey characters) fandom however tends to antagonize ppl fast however for not being completly pure and honest especially in hides case bc the narrative hasnt explitly shown his suffering (which is most of the time due to kaneki being blind to anything thats not positive on hides side imo) which results in ppl having less empathy with his action then lets say kaneki, touka or mutsuki.
