As a player, they certainly are not, unless they're brand new players that have never seen it before (not sure how many of those there are). I'm not sure the game even lets you unlock the same pass twice.

What's happening is that the game is so dead (because Rockstar deliberately killed it, to be clear) that Rockstar is announcing this pass again as if it's brand new for the third year in a row. It really seems like they just have these announcements on some sort of auto trigger that keeps triggering every year around the same time.
