That's a pretty big assumption there, Org. Is there any canon reference for it?
Nothing really explicit, but Jinnai's gift is the ability to talk to the Bugrom. but you noticed he's speaking in Japanese and they're speaking in their language. Speech is a two-way form of communication. Jinnai getting the gift of some form of telepathy to communicate with different species I can see. But being an active telepath would probably overload his brain with all the thoughts he'd be hearing.
On the other hand, communication with a telepathic species would be much more easier even if he's only a passive telepath. Since he's shown no evidence of being able to read other people's thoughts like Mizuhara or his sister. Jinnai being a passive telepath would be a better bet.
There's also the scene where Jinnai was winning the war with the Alliance. One of the ways he can do that is if had a far superior communication system than his enemies. Since the Bugroms shows no sign of having used radios or any signalling devices at all, the leaves telepathy as the alternative.
