Well, you did not mention the firearm in question but generally, folks tend to use too much lube. Would have to give your friend, the benefit of the doubt. ..

Also I heard if you oil the gas system on an Autoloader shotgun then it will cause the gas system to gum up. Is this true?

Depends on how long it's been since it was cleaned. There are some gun oils that gum up with time. Another problem is use in cold tempertures. I once had this happen on my 1100 as I could not pull the bolt back. After that, I actually had to switch to a dry lube, during deer season. ....
You really don't have much to worry about if you routinely inspect and clean your guns. I once had a friend bring his shotgun to me as he could not operate the top mount safety. Yep, it was rusted to the tope of the reciever. ..
Be Safe !!!
