No not like that. Any salt causes water retention, if total amount of salt intake is reduced fluid generally do not accumulate in body, along with if he is on any diuretics tablet can also reduce weight. Rock salt is not processed salt may be total amount of sodium chloride in it is less so actually less concentrated salt so less water retention, giving a theory to explain if so
