Ringers are just a genetic anomaly that isn't hereditary. There hasn't been any evidence that being a ringer affects a snake's likelihood of being het for pied, although most will take a het for pied that is also a ringer than just a het for pied.

Simply put, no, a ringer does not mean het for pied. Just looks cool.
