No. This is one of the most ridiculous megastructure proposals I've seen. Nothing about it makes sense. Only the equatorial regions are habitable, because only at the equator is the direction of centrifugal gravity normal to the surface.
And as AI Vin mentions, the structure would fall apart if it were made of baryonic matter - unless it rotated very slowly, making it into a low-gee habitat. Finally there is nothing holding up the poles - they would just collapse towards the centre, making Globus Cassus into a pancake.
