Huh?  Nope! The Wiki page explicitly says that

   do f &&& g    x

means

   (f &&& g) x

Why should this be different here? Simply writing "foobar" above that construct won't trigger any special layout rules, I hope...

I believe this follows from the existing layout rules. Currenlty, foobar   (do f &&& g)   x calls foobar with two arguments, while    (do f &&& g) x calls (f &&& g) with one argument. The ArgumentDo proposal does not change that, only that the parenthesis become redundant.
