It's hard to distinguish between the two in the beginning. It's only after they've put in the hard work that one finds out whether someone will be one of the ones who becomes really good or not.
So, I suspect, is it with writers, or any other skill. Some can become good or great with practise, others will never become more than barely competent no matter how much they work at. But you won't know which you are unless you give it a go.
tl;dr: No, not everyone can become a good writer, no matter how hard they work.
