Opening the rook file, people think that's an advantage, but it just really is not, and will end up being far more of a liability later. As for d-pawn missing = gambit, gambit implies you have some kind of long term compensation for what you are missing, and you clearly do not in this case so describing it as a gambit doesn't really make sense.

well you get faster development -d pawn and -h pawn you get instant kingside attack if opponent castles kingside.

a lot of gambits are for developement, not long term advantages.
