Not really, being the Avatar doesn't make them powerful at all the elements, frankly one could argue since they have to split their focus between all four elements that they'd be weaker then benders who have just the one element to focus on. Since that bender could spend all their time training that one element, Katarra and Toph for example were easily better at bending water and earth then Aang, not that he was bad at these elements either.

It seems to me the real power of the Avatar is that they have both the Avatar state and all four elements at their disposal, affording them a greater variety of bending options and flexibility.
