No.
user_1, user_2 and user_3 each generate their own public-private
keypair. So:
Receiver_1 has public_key_1 and private_key_1
Receiver_2 has public_key_2 and private_key_2
Receiver_3 has public_key_3 and private_key_3
They then all send their public keys to a fourth user, "Sender" (who may
actually be one of the receivers, if you wish).
Sender then encrypts the file using the public keys of all the
Receivers. For example:
gpg --recipient Receiver_1 \
--recipient Reciever_2 \
--recipient Receiver_3 \
--encrypt-file file_to_be_encrypted
Each of the three recipients will then be able to decrypt the file using
their own private key.
HTH...
