Gloves don't help your grip strength IMO, they're more or less there to increase the friction between your hands and the bar, help with keeping your wrists straight (if you have the gloves with the wrist wrap) or to protect your hands. Another point too is that when your using gloves you're closing your hand around a larger object, so your grip will not be as strong.
So, no, Gloves wouldn't be considered straps IMO.
