Yes, that's what it is designed to do. So, do this instead:

> cat file1 file2 file3 file4 | gawk -f script.awk

Some UNIX/LINUX utilities allow you to include "-" by itself among a list of
filenames on the command line as an indication to read the standard input
stream at that point, but I don't think awk is one of them.
