No, not really.
Aren't the GUI's the same irrespective of the OS?

I copy-pasted the setting steps to not have Skype autostart from a 
Windows-centric page, and I'm assuming the GUI, and should therefore be the 
same.

If it'll make you feel better, please replace all instances of "Windows" above 
with "CentOS". ;-)
