Not really. It means someone who has a lot of airs and graces (who is pretentious) isn't impressing anyone other than themselves.

does it mean"you can only cheat yourself" or "you can only cheat the amateur"? (is it appropriate to use amateur here?)

Pretense is not like pretend. It means to be boasting or boastful or to act in some way as to make yourself seem better than others
An amateur is simply someone who does something but isn't professional. In some cases it can be an insult to someone who isn't doing their job or craft well. If A says about B "He's just an amateur at his job". B could say A is pretentious for thinking he knows better than B.
